The Secret Knots master post, September 2023.

I'm Juan Santapau (he/him), and I make these short stories in comic form called The Secret Knots. I live in Chile. Hi.

The full web archive of past and present stories is here: The Secret Knots.

If you want to receive the comics via app, I’m starting to post weekly comics from the archives on:

On Patreon, you get extra stuff about every comic, like world building concepts, sketches and more, and may also ask for thematic portraits.

Newsletter. I send reminders about new stories, and some sketches over here.

Lastly, feel welcome to say hi at the Secret Knots Discord, a community server that always brings nice recommendations, and regular sightings of the weird in the world.

God, this show: Scavengers Reign. I don't think I've seen anything that evokes this thrill of exploration and sense of wonder in a long time. Everything in the world of the series feels alive, and is either dangerous, mystifying, or hauntingly beautiful. Whether you watch it for the impressive array of concept design or the moving human stories, it'll surpass expectations. (Though it may break your heart). Just don't let it pass under the radar.

Did you ever make or read a comic about the last known sighting of a singer, where she sings and somehow there is a huge storm in the room and she (and like the whole area around her) disappears into it? And then it ends with a line like “And that was the last anyone ever heard of [Singer]?” I want to say the singer was styled like a jazz singer or lounge music singer, but I can’t remember.

For the life of me I can’t remember who made the comic. If you know what I’m talking about, any help finding it would be appreciated!

I don't think I've read it. Maybe someone who sees this remembers it?

The new Secret Knots October portraits reward is here! And it’s all about Gnomes, Fauns and Fairies. And you are right on time to jump in, subscribing to my Patreon, and asking for your own faerie creature portrait. If you pledge in a tier from 3/month or up, you can ask for your portrait as any of these character classes, a personalized drawing made with love and care for you (and based on you), as a welcome present. Plus, you’ll be supporting me in the making of new strange stories for the webcomic called The Secret Knots.

Some portraits from past themes:

If this sounds like it was made for you, prepare for mischief (or for old glamour magics) here. 

Thanks! Juan

Anonymous asked:

With Halloween coming up, what do you think is the spookiest secret knots comic you've made?

It might be In the Mirror. But if one is fond of things like occult art and secret meanings in paintings, I think it might be cozy horror, at best.
