There are many ways to support artists. In this series of posts, I’ve recommended buying art and a number of ways to like, share, and review the work of artists. Plus, as I’ve already said, there are a lot of ways to back artists that I won’t be able to cover in three short blog …

I don’t know exactly what drew my attention to it. (Probably one of the dozens of Twitter interface remodels.) Suddenly, it …
