We use to join the Comic Fiesta events every year back in our college days but took a huge break to rethink our path as artists. Registering this event on the new website took us way back when we need to fill in the 'Participated CF Events', like CF Mini 2014 back. Nevertheless, it feels familiar to be back where we started with a whole new identity. So see you soon!
✨

is the 3rd event our humble studio had joined and saying it was a blast will be an understatement. The outpouring of positivity and support from everyone we met left us gratefully speechless. It's moments like these that remind us how lucky we are to have such inspiring people rooting for us and anticipating what's next. Till next time!

Inkling Studio, a creative venture established in 2020 by Zhao Hong and Shin Chi in Penang, Malaysia. Here, we proudly wear the hats of a Risograph micro-press, independent publisher, and illustration studio, weaving stories and adventures through our artistic journey, known affectionately as the Riso Saga.

As independent publishers, we're driven by the desire to bring rare gems to the local literary scene. Our focus is on publishing comics and stories that are not easily found in our local landscape.

By infusing the captivating allure of Risograph printing into our illustrated tales, we aim to craft books that reflect our own reading desires. In this endeavor, we explore diverse artistic realms, collaborating with talents from various fields and backgrounds to weave narratives that are as unique as they are enchanting.

We're on a mission to share our love for Riso, inviting people to experience the distinct charm of this printing method and, hopefully, fall in love with it just as we have.

🎉 Website launched! 🎉
Thrilled to announce the launch of our revamped website! https://theinkling.studio/
We've poured our hearts into every detail - from retaking product photos to rewriting descriptions, and reorganizing our printing guide. We've even made checkout smoother with new payment gateways and shipping methods!

Dodol Zine's cover, a visual narrative of swirling curves and symbolic walls, is now a stunning poster!
🌊 In a rain-soaked world, characters communicate through gestures and sign language, encapsulated in astronaut helmets. The right part (front cover) hands articulate ‘connect,’ reaching across, while the left side (back cover) signs ‘dialogue.’ Dive into Dodol Zine‘s pages—a testament to unspoken connections.

📒Risograph Notebooks
From Scraps to Simple Notebooks!
📘
In our studio, you'll find a delightful chaos of scrap papers, each with its own unique charm and random sizes. While they may not fit our current projects, we turned these scraps into charming notebooks instead.
📕
The short version is perfect for on-the-go jotting and easy carrying, while our dear friends who've spotted our prototypes have been curious about the long version.
📚
We're all about giving new life to the unexpected, and these notebooks are a testament to the art of repurposing. They're not just pages; they're stories waiting to be written.

🔑 Magical Risograph Keychains
It all began with a playful parody of the 👁️👄👁️ emoji, a favorite among our friends. Little did we know that this creative spark would ignite a series of enchanting characters!
✨
Meet Eva The Cool, Yuki The Classic, Angela The Quirky, and Jesselyn The Bold – our very own squad of magical girls. Each one brimming with personality and charm, they're here to add a sprinkle of magic to your day!
🧚‍♀️
Each printed with 3 Riso inks and cast into Hello Kitty and clover shaped acrylic keychains.
