[ 21st May'25 ]
inspired by Keith Haring... his movement lines made his characters look like they are dancing or glowing... my movement lines made my characters look as if they are wobbling from holding on to their positions... 😅😅😅
[ 15th May'25 ]
April monthly spread inspired by Joan Miro, an artist whom i had introduced to my little orange ones long long ago with the Roll a Miro game...
[ 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 takes 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 and all the curly-wurly strips...
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 ]
Hatchday tracker inspired by Henri Matisse's cut-outs artworks; La perruche et la sirène (The Parakeet and the Mermaid) and L'escargot (The Snail)
the curly wurlies really tested my cutting, gluing skill and the power of my 老花眼 seh!!!

cover page in zentangle patterns... inspired by the art club session that vanessa conducted at the beginning of the year...
[ 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!!!
The evolution of my planners :
