Dear friends,
In the animated atmosphere of gradually growing Vietnamese comics in the year 2009, I feel so surprised and hopeful about our comics in the future. The reason is that many young artists appear and show off their talents - That is everyone's long-awaited pride. Along with GreenFarm, Manzin and the forthcoming Truyện Tranh Việt Online, Vietnamese comics is believed to be better and move to a higher phase.

Therefore, in order to warm up the air as well as to creat an interesting and realistic activity for all young artists, basing on the idea of <a href=leodadominico.deviantart.com/j…>Kaboom Ink</a> on DeviantART, Claparo-Sans and I really hope to lauch a campaign:
<a href=vncomicfarm.com/index.php?show…>Trans-Vietnam Artbook</a>

I wish and believe that this artbook will be supported by all of you. Let’s show to the international friends the joy and unity of our Vietnamese-comics community! ^_^

:star: I. Name for the artbook?
The general name for our project is “Trans-Vietnam Artbook”. Depending on the development of that and the time needed for finishing all the artworks, this project will be re-started after 1-2 years.
Each time of project will give you a theme to follow. Each artbook will be named based on that theme. The artbook’s cover will be drawn by alex-tuan, Claparo-Sans, Dark134 or phongduong.

:star: II. Participants:
All artists coming from Vietnam, owning Vietnamese nationality, and now living in Vietnam (or currently being on holiday in Vietnam); regardless of age, gender or anything else. We're so sorry all the Vietnamese artists studying or living abroad, we have no ability to send this artbook to you this year.


:star: III. Joining forms and rules

:bulletblack: Follow the theme of artbok. I will inform you of the theme for each time of project. You should pre-think the idea of your artworks before receiving the artbook to save the time.

:bulletblack: For example, I am the first one who draw in this artbook. After finishing my artwork, I send the artbook by post (register form), or bring it in person to the next artist. Suppose that’s Claparo-Sans. He will send the artbook to the next one after finishing drawing. The rotation will occur till there’s no one left.

:bulletblack: Please notice that, the person you send the artbook to, must stand NEXT TO you in the registration list. (I'll give you the list when I've received all your replies).

:bulletblack: Me, <a href=cadybrille.deviantart.com>nini_mimi_cat</a>, responsible for guiding you how to send the artbook and the address of next one.

:bulletblack: Each of you are allowed to keep the art book at most 10 days so that other people can have the chance to take part in this work. Consequently, you should choose the most appropriate time. Please consider your exams and other things that may take your time.
:bulletblack: So as to save the money on sending the art book by post, the participants who live in the same city will be placed consecutivelyin the list, so you can send the artbook in person. According to this year’s plan, the artbook will stay in Hanoi in July, and then will be brought to HCMC in August. The Southern friends will send it to ones living in the Middle part of Vietnam, and then Northern again. We’ll give the priority to the overseas students.
