		<title>AUDIENCE SURVEY</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Months ago, we didn’t reach our goal on our Kickstarter fundraising campaign. It goes without saying that we want to succeed from here on out, but we realized something: we don’t know nearly enough about our supporters. What makes you guys tick? What do you want from us?

		<title>GOOD NEWS FROM THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We’re happy to say we’re finally a licensed 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Actually, that’s an understatement. We’re ecstatic. Ten months ago, we sent in our application to become a nonprofit in the United States. We waited.

		<title>FILIPINO ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: DEXTER FERNANDEZ</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Right: The Man–Child. Popular cartoons flock the headspace of this eight-year-old boy, yet a beard amasses on his chin. This work displays the contradiction of a child mentally growing in an accelerated mental state that sprung from his exposure to adult activities and innuendos found in paraphernalia he is exposed to. Dex Fernandez, a fine [...]]]></description>

I’m nowhere near that mythical ‘ideal person,’ but for the first time in my life, I truly feel I’ve become the person I want to be. I wake up each morning happy [...]]]></description>

		<title>LOGO DESIGN AGENCIES CAUSE OF DEATH? THE PHILIPPINES.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A “leading” Australian online logo design company recently announced they’re outsourcing all logo designs to the Philippines from now on. Terrific, right? “Unfortunately we were getting squeezed by online global competitors in the U.S. and U.K. that outsource their logo design services to the cheapest offshore bidder, to places like India and Russia. This has [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We really wish we could be launching our new site under happier circumstances. I originally wrote this post a few days ago, but since then, Typhoon Ondoy has ravaged the Philippines; so much that the government has declared a “state of calamity” in Metro Manila and about two-dozen storm-hit provinces as more than a month’s [...]]]></description>
