It was a privilege to be part of this year’s Enabling Lives Festival by SG Enable to share how digital art can be made accessible through vector drawing.
Moses demonstrated the use of Vectornator Pro, a powerful free app on the iPad, to quickly create a vector drawing before showing how it can also be done using Voice Control.
Voice Control is an in-built accessibility feature to support physical and motor challenges and allows a user to navigate, and in this case to draw, without touching the screen but using voice commands.
If you are keen to know more about accessibility features in iOS devices, which can be useful for just about anyone, or to learn vector drawing on Vectornator, please do contact us at pauseability@gmail.com.

Doodling and colouring is a good way to take a pause and play a little – just the thing you need in the midst of the hustle and bustle of life. You can do just that with this pause-to-play journal PS* I Love You, which is inspired by the designs on Peranakan Sarongs. What’s more, with the prompts and quotable quotes, you will get to stretch your creativity muscles too.
Each journal comes with a sheet of Wise Nugget stickers. The introductory price is only SGD5 and includes free local shipping. Of course orders from overseas are welcome too.
One of the challenges of learning Chinese is the recognition of words. Here’s an interactive game on TinyTap which Moses has created to help with word recognition.
It is suitable for beginners of any age.

Give us your comment and feedback so we can decide whether to create more words.
Rebecca of Cartwheels and Moses had the opportunity to produce a video that is part of new interactive artwork – An Artist’s Tropical Landscape – to show step-by-step how to draw 5 tropical fruits. This at National Gallery Singapore.
It was a nice surprise that our earlier video production for Small Big Dreamers at Home is also screening there too. Here’s a link to one of these videos.
Do drop by to experience this new art installation, especially those of you with kids. You do need to register and there is a capacity limit in view of the COVID-19 situation.
Over the recent weekend, Moses facilitated an art workshop for a family as they celebrated their father’s birthday. I call the workshop Pattern More Than Badminton. The workshop was a surprise for the father.
Each of them created an artwork using patterns on a small card and then we put all of that together into one collective artwork.
This made a very unique present for the father. And as a additional surprise, there is an AR element to this. Using Artivive app to view this completed artwork, a video from the family members cab be seen singing him a birthday song.
If you are keen to have a similar session, do write to us soon at pauseability@gmail.com.
