The Pepper Project, an homage to Artgerm's cult mascot character, Pepper, will be coming to you at Anime Festival Asia 2008 which is to be held at Singapore's Suntec Convention Centre from 22-23 Nov.

Published by IFS, this latest 220-page art book features a gallery of Artgerm's Pepper pieces, as well as Pepper creations by invited professional artists and fans from all corners of the globe.

Only those who come to AFA08 and buy a copy of The Pepper Project

will receive a free, exclusive and never-seen-before art print of Pepper created and signed by Artgerm himself. Sale of the book on our brand-new online store will start on 22 November for those who wish to purchase their own copy but are not able to attend AFA08.

Come by booth F-06, where we will be on-hand to meet, greet, or shoot the breeze! We're also going to hold live art demonstrations and will be selling merchandise such as our art books (One, Redux, PRIME v2.0 & The Pepper Project), art prints (various) and exclusive tees.

If you're an aspiring artist, bring along your portfolio and we'd be more than happy to take a look through and review your art work.

Also, our IFS artists have been selected to act as judges for this year's Graphite Manga Art Competition! Organised by the NUS Anime Club and sponsored by IFS, the judges (Stanley "Artgerm" Lau, Kendrick "Kunkka" Lim, Kai Lim & Jennyson "2ngaw" Rosero) will announce the winners and present the awards during the awards ceremony on 23 Nov.
