Finally, the side project I was chipping away at for over two years is done!

I'm Juan Santapau (he/him), and I make THE SECRET KNOTS, which is a series of short stories in comic form. I live in Chile. Hola.

If you've been on Tumblr for some time maybe you've seen some of these comics: the one about a city of secret names; the one with a misunderstood cryptid; the one about enshittification. 

The full web archive is here: The Secret Knots.

If you'd like to support me with a few dollars every month (which helps me enormously to pay bills and keep making art), you can subscribe to my Patreon, where I post updates about every comic in progress and different extras. You can also follow for free and get notifications for new things.

Here’s the Newsletter, where I send reminders about new stories, and miscellaneous art.

I’m on Bsky and Reddit.
