Launch of comic strip The MAPpies (map-peez)

2025 marks our 17th year of establishment. In February, we launched our in-house comics named 'The MAPpies' in hope of bringing together people who love art and comics. 'The MAPpies' is a collection of the little things that happen in our daily lives at and around My Art Pencil (MAP). The characters and stories are inspired by real people and their experiences. We post new strips periodically on our social media pages. If you like our illustrations and stories, don't forget to follow our pages and like our strips. To read our strips, click picture below.

Art is everywhere, it includes design

CNA, 14 September 2025

In Singapore, design is more that just decoration, it's direction. From our homes, parks and healthcare systems, design has always shaped how we live, work and adapt. With design driving sales, Singapore's creative economy has nearly double in a decade (2012 - 2022) - proof of design's power. The opportunities are expanding - Singapore's design field is on the rise.

"You could have a technology, but if you don't have design, how do you think people are going to interact with or use it, how is it going to be experienced by the end group that you are trying to target? There are great products out there that have find no market because they have terrible designs. Good design means good business. Design powers innovation and growth. Creativity is the core of designing. Design is a strategic advantage, not an afterthought that we layer on to make something look good. I think AI will become a foe when it starts to take over human creativity at the hightest level. Nothing will be unique anymore." - Dawn Lim, Executive Director of DesignSingapore Council

"With the AI slop, there might be a potential lowering of the critical and aesthetic judgment of design." - Dr Immanuel Koh, assistant professor of Singapore University of Technology and Design
