EVERYTHING IS UNDER CONTROL.
HYPNO KOMIX batch #002: AMERIKAN ZER0:THE GENERATION GASH!
AMERIKAN ZER0! #1: “THE GENERATION GASH!”
FRONTISPIECE:
“I pledge obedience to the brand
of the United Syndicates of Amerikorps
and to the conglomerate for which it stands:
One enterprise, under surveillance
omnipotent and invisible
with security and commerce for all.”
PAGE ONE (splash page):
A splashy advertizement, like an evocative movie poster or an advert for a video game, advertising the life of Adam Zer0, perhaps patterned on those “Army of One” military ads, pastiched or psychedelicized into an “Army of Zero” ad. The narration is in the second person, inviting the player (or reader) into total immersion. There are images of Adam Zer0 layered over one another, at various scales.
-Adam Zer0 shaved and bald and blank before a circular static-filled fisheye tv screen, in a completely blank room.
-Adam Zer0 in Steve McQueen “Bullitt” mode: a lean, mean piece of work, cleaning his guns.

Beach Blanket Beyond from Rachel Sakry on Vimeo.
“Beach Blanket Beyond” tells the eldritch tale of young Howie Luvkraft’s fateful day at Innsmouth Beach and his encounter with local surf stud Randy Carter, and the rockin’ band The Kings In Yellow, and the resulting surf-off to end all surf-offs—literally! You’ll be groovin’ to The Kings and diggin’ Howie’s prowess on a longboard… er, just ignore those pesky tentacles reaching out from the waves to drag you to YOUR DOOM!! Read the rest of this entry »

Hola, @MCHaggett rappin’ atcha. I set up HYPNO’s web site, Facebook and Twitter pages… and just earlier this week, handed over the main Twitter feed to the voice of HYPNO, Jason Squamata… writer / oracle / Hypnocrat. He jumped right in, Tweeting dark, crazy fragments of the myriad HYPNO-verses that roil inside his mind.
I’m rather pleased with myself for having gotten Squamata onto Twitter. @HYPNOKOMIX is going to be a sick Tweet stream & I hope people will follow it and allow fragments of lucid HYPNO dreams into their timeline.
That is right, folks…
Don’t just take it from me…
(ahem)
All together now:
“i’m a Screaming Skullboy… screaming all the time… screaming ’til my head pops off, then my head fights crime…”
