Planner 2026

[ 15th May'25 ]

April monthly spread inspired by Joan Miro, an artist whom i had introduced to my little blue ones long long ago with the Roll a Miro game... 



[ 14 May'25 ]

cover page in zentangle patterns... inspired by the art club session that vanessa conducted at the beginning of the year... 



[ 11th May'25 ]

this March spread inspired by Piet Mondrian took many many griding, re-griding, re-re-griding and re-re-re-griding so that there's a balance between it being Mondrian-ish enough yet structurally functionable enough for me....  



[ 8th May'25 ]

designed a parody of Grant Wood's American Gothic with my favourite gothic character and her brother for February... 😂😂😂



[ 5th May'25 ]

All monthly spread designs will take inspiration from an artist whose birthday is / was in the month. 

January monthly spread is inspired by Jackson Pollock's drip painting technique... had fun dripping and splitter splattering paint to create the background for the headers... 


white & blue were chosen as AI 'tells' me white symbolises a fresh start to the New Year, coupled with blue to evoke snowfall and winter... 


what an artistic mess i had created !!! 



[ 3rd May'25 ]


the curly wurlies really tested my cutting, gluing skill and the power of my 老花眼 seh!!!



[ 1st May'25 ]

decided that it shall be an Art theme planner for 2026 where every design is based on an art style / artist... starting with my name in graffiti, inspired by my exploration into pre-demolised Peace Centre with mx... 



[ 28th April'25 ]

was doing excessive browsing and shopping on shopee for home sweet home 3.0 when i chanced upon this notebook that i think is very suitable to be used as my Planner 2026... 

besides the comparative price tag, it has just the right number of pages @ 160 for the monthly & weekly spread + trackers, each page is also thick enough @ 100 GSM for my doodling with ink, markers & watercolour pencils and finally dotted pages that allow for more flexibility & freedom in designing all the pages in whichever and whatever way i want... 😍😍😍


getting ONLY this notebook came with abit of luck that deserves to be documented here... heee


original price of this notebook was at $5.50 but there was a minimum quantity of 3 items per purchase... decided to put in shopee cart first then think of what to do with the other 2 notebooks later on... 25.4 came, discounts, vouchers, rebates here, there, everywhere and the notebook now cost $4.72 each with free express to-door delivery... 


the twist came when the two black notebooks came a size smaller, the peach notebook came with 3 stains... 一气之下, requested for return & refund but somehow i only keyed in to return one peach and one black notebook...

so end result, i am left with ONE black notebook, which was what i had wanted right from the beginning!!! 

PERFECT!!!
