I used to put codes in my art back when my mother used to check my social media. I've forgotten the solutions.

Weird message from a strange guy… can anyone decipher this?

117 upvotes 21 comments image Jul 22

Found a site written entirely in some unknown script — no normal text anywhere, can't tell what it is. Anyone recognize it?

Friend of mine found old Paper with unknown symbols in the Black Forest

37 upvotes 12 comments image Jul 27

Long shot, got this from a friend as part of a game, who claimed to have found it somewhere online. He says he recalls it being a simple substitution, I am somewhat dubious after having tried to run though the basics. Obviously the non-standard text is a consternating factor.

Code on the bottom of a whiskey glass

Hello, I’m Simon. I’ve been receiving these messages for a while some in the woods some in my house. This one is the only one with a obvious puzzle and I need help figuring out what this means.

I found this weird code in a sketchbook I was flipping through today. I have never seen it and tried to google it, like maybe it was a secret Pinterest language? It also has this weird hand at the bottom that was drawn with some care. I have no clue what any of it means.
