We will continue to share other behind the scenes posts such as artwork and incense projects, photos of SWFL wildlife, and recent art events. We will also continue to release a vinyl sticker each month, and subscribers to the Fiddler Crab tier and above will continue to receive these in the mail. Learn more on our Patreon page!
