New Secret Knots comic: “Abyssal”. 

The Secret Notes 07-March-18 • Circus Edition

Posted on November 11, 2025 by Juan

 Hello.

After a few false starts on the new comic, it looks on track finally. See also: reasons exposed in comic form on the previous blog, plus a couple of weeks off far away from most screens. (I can’t complain)

New drawing treat: the Secret Knots Circus comes to town

In order to make up for the lack of updates I’m opening this one to everybody who wants their quick portrait as one of the freaks and wonders of this existential circus.

Just pick one from:


The Non-Human Cannonball


The Plate-Spinning Bureaucrat


The Siamese Twin Whose Siamese Twin Is Not On This Plane Of Existence


The Specific Subject Expert Snake Charmer


The Party Escape Artist


The Political Contortionist 


The Fire Breathing Tinder User


The Hair Hanging Movie Critic


The Cliché Tamer


The Hyper Dimensional Clown


The Disaffected Trapeze Artist


The Oddly Non Hyperbolic Ringmaster


As you can see they’re twelve, so you could use them as some kind of astrological kind of typology for your personality. Also, I have no idea of how I’m going to draw them or even what some of these are.

As usual send a reference picture to my email, gemeloperverso@gmail.com with Secret Knots Circus in subject, and specifying the one you’ll be.


Note: In the process of checking previous drawing treats I noticed I passed by a couple of requests. I’m terribly sorry and I’ll get in touch with a couple of people I’m in debt with.

Note 2: I’ll definitely be sharing some of the results from this, so please keep that in mind.


See you soon with news and comics.

Thanks for your support!

New comic: ‘Anastasia’

Posted on November 11, 2025 by Juan

This latest installment is a comic I made for an ephemeral art show, based around the concept of ‘sexualities outside the norm’. It was fun to hang these pages on the walls along erotic themed paintings, installations and a live performance of someone in a cage, totally covered by a rubber suit and blindly being fed gummy bears by the guests.

I hope you like the story and wish you all a wonderful week.
