Posts over on Patreon, at various tiers, included: resources from a guest lecture, advance glimpses of silhouettes, sneak-peeks at a project in progress, stationery (manicules!), and a Dalek-ish take on Heyer.

 Note: If you’d like to support art and writing and posts like these about it, patrons at (patreon.com/tanaudel) get behind-the-scenes process and sneak-peeks, starting from US$1, or you could buy me a (virtual) coffee or two at ko-fi.com/tanaudel (and I get through quite a bit of coffee).
