Extract from the Journal of Professor Heinrich Von Wolfsbane



It was underneath a killer’s moon, shadowed by the canopy of a decaying forest that I first laid eyes on the naked and trembling form of the man I grew to know as Mr. Sul.

On that solemn and soulless night, fate brought this broken wretch to the grounds of my home, Darkside Manor, a place they say, whose very heart bleeds darkness.

From the cracked windows of my laboratory I heard his anguished cries piercing the twilight sky, and hurried to his aid. Taking pity upon him, and sensing a degree of genius within his tortured soul, I offered him solace and sanctuary, in an old wooden cabin that sits in the dark woods that enclose my estate. In this solitude he has begun to confront his demons, and rid his mind of the poison that had all but consumed him.




I will try to explain. It is said that each day, a person will be subjected to over one thousand images of subliminal and supraliminal advertising. One thousand hollow, empty promises all offering a glimpse of the impossible – an unachievable goal of perfection. Over time this cascade of lies will build up and ferment in the sub-cortical area of the brain. This can have a negative effect on many people...and a catastrophic effect on a few.


Mr. Sul, however, took it much worse. His eyes became blinded by the monotonous flicker of the silver screen and the howling beauty of the billboards, his ears deafened by the symphony of a million screaming commercials. Put simply, the man descended into lunacy. In his bewildered state these everyday advertisments of happy people offering happy products, warped. Became ugly. Posters of smiling consumers morphed into banners of twisted monsters each relentlessly grasping for his soul. All truth became lies, all beauty became filth and all light became darkness. He stumbled screaming into the rain-soaked night, resting only when the glare of the city was far behind him.




And so it was that underneath a killer's moon our paths crossed. On the twenty-third day of his convalescence I gave the man paint, and brushes, and implored him. “Show me, show me what you see.”

And now, within the confines of the woodland, an artist sits in an old wooden shack, wallowing in his own filth and spewing onto canvas all of the depraved images that have been forever burnt into his tormented mind. Gun toting Lesbians, Vampires, Robots, Eyeballs, Serial Killers, Angels, Devils and all that lay between.



These are the new Icons of Advertising. And what they are selling is madness.
