G33K Out: Another Well Kept Secret Exposed

Episode 49: Another Well Kept Secret Exposed

I first was introduced to the artwork of the artist known as Another Well Kept Secret thanks to Tumblr and Sherlock. Her artwork shows a stylized humanity with very animated features – and she has a romantic flair that shows that love is indeed at the heart of everything she does.

Her real name is Kelley and she’s from Tennessee. She’s been on my list to interview for a while, but got bumped up partially because she’s been upping her commissions to help offset the current economic downturn the virus has caused so many. We talk about her art, her being open about her asexuality, and her interest in Sherlock Holmes and Good Omens. Full disclosure: I am a Patreon of her, and have had artwork commissioned in the past. So yeah, I’m a bit of a fan.

Basic Show Notes:

• Running time is 50 minutes, 45 seconds.
• The interview was recorded on March 20, 2020.
• General notes about the discussion / further reading:
  • You can find Another Well Kept Secret on:
    • her website (the easiest way to find her everywhere else as well as getting the comics);
    • her Twitter;
    • her Tumblr;
    • and, of course, her Patreon.
  • We talked about her porn for charity. She decided to do one related to COVID-19. You can find out more about it (and order it) here.
• The mid-show plug is from Alisa Stern of the web series Doctor Puppet. I interviewed her in episode 46 about what she’s up to now that she’s decided to move on from the series.
• In this episode, “Angie Geeks Out” about all the positive stuff that’s been coming out from the coronavirus. I mention specifically:
  • the St. Patrick’s Day free streaming concert from the Dropkick Murphys;
  • the 17-minute YouTube video of Jungle Cruise Skippers doing a coronavirus-specific tour;
  • John Finnemore’s Cabin Fever episodes. He’s currently up to episode 4, and you can see them on his YouTube channel;
  • and that I’ve been posting various other things to do over on the Contents May Vary Facebook page. If you haven’t read it yet, I also wrote an article about ‘How to Still Be a Geek in the Middle of a Pandemic’. I also may be sending out a special newsletter just to highlight this kind of stuff if I have time. (I’m still working — albeit from home.)
• Theme music is “Schoolyard Haze”, by Jari Pitkanen, available via the Free Music Archive.
