Auction to benefit Cyril Van der Haegen

'The Lobotomist', by Cyril Van der Haegen

A good friend, and fellow illustrator, Cyril Van der Haegen, was recently diagnosed with two types of blood cancer: Leukemia and Myeloma. Obviously, this has been greatly affecting his quality of life, his ability to work, and his finances.



Like many artists, Cyril is self-employed and uninsured.

If you've ever met Cyril, you were probably greeted with a big smile. He is a gentle, upbeat guy, and isn't the kind of guy who complains, or asks unnecessarily for help... even when he may need it. Luckily, he has some equally impressive friends who aren't afraid to step in on his behalf. Illustrator, Dave Seeley is one such friend, and has spearheaded a charity auction to benefit Cyril.



100% of the proceeds of this auction will go to covering Cyril's medical costs and living expenses while he undergoes treatment.
