SERVANT welcomes the new year 2014!!!

 Servant and the Haiyan Benefit Anthology

It's been a trying 2013. Personal and health matters hit hard and my hard drive and backups crashing, lost hundreds of hours of work into the Servant issues, particularly the upcoming ones.  I'll be the first to admit, depression hit hard. But life goes on and I'm moving forward.

To start the year right, I'm involved with an anthology of international artists gathered together to volunteer time and talent for the victims of Typhoon Haiyan (or Yolanda, as it is named in the Philippines). Typhoon Yolanda and its effects remain one of the most devastating disasters in the history of mankind and the people affected need all the help they can get. So I've put Servant #3 on pause while developing material for the Anthology. You can find the indiegogo page here:

Here's a sneak peek of one of my contributions: Galang Kaluluwa, who is one of the Philippine mythological gods and is a primary inspiration for the character of Servant.


Spread the word or donate! Any help is most appreciated. Proceeds will go to the Philippine Red Cross for the victims of Haiyan/Yolanda.
