Daniel Huffman<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

On behalf of the Independent Map Artists<\/a> (previously<\/a>), Daniel Huffman is launching an experiment<\/a>: a map of the month club<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

For a one-time subscription fee of $200, folks can get new mappy goods sent to them each month for five months (so, $40 per month). People can explore items from multiple artists, and I hope it will help bring new attention to my colleagues\u2014support that these individual mappers might not otherwise get if they were not part of a group. Picking out individual interesting maps can be hard, so we\u2019re making it easy for people to receive an assortment.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

That fee includes shipping. The product page<\/a> lists some of what the subscription is likely to include. It\u2019s a one-time deal, a single five-month package, for now, but may continue if it proves successful. Signups close on June 15.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
