✨Ginger Ooi✨
A tribute to Shin Chi‘s first adopted cat, Ginger Ooi (yes, he took his owner’s surname). Ginger is a 7kg chonky boii who‘s extremely picky about his food and toys. Soft and charming on the outside, yet he loves to bite and hunt his owner out of nowhere like a giant orange menace.

With this collage zine, the artist wants the world to know how cute Ginger is.

OPEN CALL: Ink & Impulse 3.0
I&I is back for its third run! We’re here to turn your thoughts, ideas, and strange little stories into something real, a zine you can hold, share, and be proud of.

At Inkling, we believe in building space for ideas that are bold, offbeat, and rooted in research. That’s why we started Ink & Impulse, to invite curious minds, story-driven creators, and lovers of the odd and honest to co-create zines with us.

You bring the ideas, we bring our experience in zine-making, riso printing, and storytelling. We’ll work closely with you to shape a zine that resonates with readers and stands out in the indie publishing scene.

If you’ve got something quirky, layered, or deeply personal you’ve been itching to tell, we’d love to hear from you.

Submissions are now open.

✨the price we pay for FREE✨
A witty, self-reflective zine exploring the trade-offs we make for “free” perks. Sparked by a coffee shop app sign-up for a free drink, the artist examines how easily we exchange personal data for small rewards. Blending humor with consumer insight, the zine highlights the everyday moments where privacy takes a backseat to convenience, all presented in a nostalgic, logbook-style A6 booklet.

✨Stuff & The Bathroom✨
explores how hygiene habits evolve across cultures. The front of the zine focuses on general bathroom usage such as routines, design, and cultural differences; while the back delves into how female hygiene shapes bathroom rituals and influences today’s bathroom landscape. Blending personal storytelling and visual documentation, the work reflects on identity, belonging, and care through the lens of everyday hygiene.

Designed as an accordion fold to mimic toilet paper, this tactile publication invites readers to rethink the cultural meanings behind their most familiar rituals.

✨Slasher 斜槓✨
Created by Kai, a Hong Kong artist who had just graduated from the U.S. and is now pursuing further studies in the U.K., Slasher explores the “斜槓” lifestyle, the reality of balancing multiple jobs and passions to sustain both life and art. Drawing from experiences across different upbringings, countries, and worlds, the zine captures a universal truth: we’re all just trying to make art and figure out who we are. Through reflections on burnout, ambition, and creative survival, Slasher celebrates flexibility, self-expression, and the many paths that shape a modern artist’s journey.

✨Packing✨is a zine presented as a pseudo-manual that captures the emotions of a child moving abroad, inspired by the artist’s own journey from Myanmar to Singapore. Printed on double-sided A3 and folded into A6 pages, the front presents a “manual” of migration, while the unfolded reverse reveals a collage of memories left behind. The folding format mirrors the act of packing, both literal and emotional, reflecting the unease, uncertainty, and quiet hope that accompany leaving home for a new life.

✨Uni Go! Go!✨
A playful documentary zine capturing the author’s experience as a sea urchin process worker in Glen Waverly, Melbourne. Growing up in Singapore—where sea urchins are prized but never farmed—the artist shares a first-hand look at how these delicacies journey from sea to plate. Part journal, part manual, Uni GO GO! offers a light-hearted glimpse into an unusual job few in Singapore have experienced.

✨ Risorcery 2.0 is here! ✨
Back by popular demand, our beloved Riso guidebook returns, freshly reprinted and re-enchanted!

Two years ago, Risorcery was our very first publication, made to share the magic of Risograph printing. We never expected it to sell out, and now, we’re thrilled to bring it back in a new and improved edition.

Whether you’re new to Riso or a long-time experimenter, this zine is your invitation to embrace imperfection, explore process, and play with ink.
