About: By day, she is an Advertising Minion. But by night, she draws. She draws till daylight threatens to penetrate the night. That's how much she loves to draw.

With her pen, she brings Puddle to life. Puddle is her muse. Puddle helps her to make sense of this world. Her nights with Puddle are the best. She makes everything seem possible.

Like anyone who loves art, it's always the simple, uncomplicated things that inspire Celesteanning. To find those things, she only needs to look at how life plays itself out.

Inspiration: Staying in a cosmopolitan city like Singapore can be challenging at times. Puddle gets away once in a while.
She'll blow a huge bubble and float high up into the beautiful summer sky. It's just her way of getting some "alone" time. Don't we all need that occasionally?

Inspiration: Singaporeans love food. So while being stuck in a reservist camp with not much to stimulate the mind, a canteen break with simple food like Mee Rubus and a cup of tea can sound glorious to those on reservist. Friendships are always  formed over food, especially for the always-hungry Singaporeans.

About: Visual artist Luthfi Mustafah has been creating the character The Killer Gerbil since 2003 as an alter ego, inspired by his pet gerbils. It is a representation of street culture and urban art.
