Jaemy C
graphic designer and Artist in Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur
My name is Jaemy C. I am a multi-disciplinary visual artist based in Malaysia. As of late, mixed-media, digital illustrations and “fusion” oriental brush calligraphy are some of the art forms that have really inspired my art.
I am 37 and have spent 16 years in the advertising/design industry. My past careers include a short stint writing for a local ad agency, 4 years of graphic design in a local TV station, and 5 years running a graphic/production studio with a co-founder business partner.
I have a diploma in Advertising Design from The One Academy of Communication Design. My art style fuses organic brush strokes, pop culture, “mashup”-themed elements, and lots of self-indulgent humour.
Recently I was "dragged through the trenches" when a collaboration with an international sports brand made headlines in Indonesia, resulting in a backlash of online hate and a tremendous amount of cyber-bullying on me. This experience has impacted my art tremendously and will serve as the subject of my future art pieces.
Prior to this, my Instagram “mash-up” photography has been featured on numerous media sites such as Buzzfeed, MTV.com, Huffington post etc. They have also appeared in French publication "Pirates l'art du détournement culturel".
