JUSTUS MAGAZINE

2011-11-09T15:48:00.000+10:30

Yesterday I received a surprising and happy phone call - a call from Estelle from Justus Magazine, Sydney's new quarterly journal showcasing the design and print industry, to invite me to join their creative family in which you subscribe, have the opportunity to submit work to the magazine and are invited to their VIP events.

Design studios, freelancers, students and creative suppliers around the country are invited, to form a community between eachother to keep the design industry alive. Their editions are clad with super stocks and embellishments, making it a creative's dream to publish in. I highly recommend to check these super people out, as they are giving people like myself trying to break into the industry a reputable opportunity to create contacts and opportunities to display your work, and are particularly looking to give people in areas such as small ol' Adelaide a chance to shine, as our wonderful creative scene, as vibrant and happening as it is, may be not as noticed as the bigger cities scenes.

Do check these clever folks' website if you are interested in joining the fam, and also check this great article about them on Design Federation !

We are up and running at the Metro Hotel and the Dog and Duck, come have a look and maybe even purchase a piece!

If You're Screwed Up Well You Better Screw It Tight (Super-Sonic)
Shine Like Stars (Shine Like Stars)

Come and support some freshly baked creative talent. It sure is tasty.

Miraculous website update

2010-12-17T09:19:00.004+10:30

So after an entire year of struggling to make a website, which was put up online half finished about 6 months ago, I successfully refurbished in two days. Proud? More like a miracle.

And, it works seamlessly on both mac and pc (after I fixed a few flaws). It is now up to date, and admittedly a lot less gaudy looking. However I cannot find for the life of me where you can edit the leading/kerning. Please excuse unedited Helvetica font.

Please go have a peek, http://www.chloemcgregor.com

*EDIT* Jumped the gun on "seamless", via iPhone it is a little temperamental.

On Dit

2010-12-07T13:02:00.001+10:30

Illustrations done in the past couple months for University of Adelaide's student rag On Dit. One more to come but hasn't been reproducing well under the scanner, will wait for the clouds to disappear to photograph instead! Going by a rather obvious pattern here on my blog, it appears I exercise my psychedelic typography just a little too much.....

SALA exhibition - Addiction

2010-08-01T14:33:00.006+09:30

Here are my 4 works (for sale) for the exhibition I am part of for SALA (South Australian Living Arts Festival) with 10 other illustrators. The theme is addiction; so I chose fads from the 50s (Tupperware), 60s (being a Ringo Starr groupie), 70s (Duncan Yoyo) and 80s (Lip Smackers) to take the not so expected route of what people immediately think of when hearing the word "addiction".

Exhibition from 4th August (opening night) - 22nd August, Higher Ground 9 Light Square Adelaide

Laura Hill and the Tuesday Bandits

2010-06-01T16:55:00.002+09:30

Calling this post overdue is an understatement, especially considering it is one of the most important things I have done! Here is the cover I did for Laura Hill and the Tuesday Bandit's album Over My Shoulder, and a spread from the booklet. I created all illustrations and graphic design (however not photography). Released it as a digipack with foiling on the cover logo and chair/bird.

No, not BJM, but in fact Brian Jones. I plan on painting this in acrylics sometime soon as I've been strung up in oils for way too long now.

This is my front cover of my narrative "Monsters Under Your Bed". This was a project that lasted the entire year.

This image is what I came up from our visualization project, in which we were given 3 unrelated words to create an image. this was my response to 'refugee, blackberry, blase'.

self portrait

2009-04-10T21:46:00.005+09:30

By far the proudest piece I've done. Unfortunately that sounds self indulgent as of course as it's of none other than yours truly.

Heere's a slight snippet of last year's doings. happy with some, hatin' on others, but you gotta learn somehow.
