Chris,

The Psycho Machine was recently invented, created and developed in the
summer of 2002 by A2K and Conrad.

“The Psycho Machine Show, started in the summer of 2002 was birthed as
a result of A2K's and Conrad’s need for more creative outlets. 
Inspired by the likes of Shin-Goji's Twisted Kaiju Theater, they found
solace for their quandary.  Featuring a varied cast of characters and
interesting scenarios, the comic's primary goal is, above all else,
entertain.”

Who is A2K?

A2k, one of the creators of the Psycho Machine is really Angelo E.
Lozano, a 17 year old Indiana high school student.

His full name is Angelo E. Lozano

- Content Manager of A2K Asylum, The Astrobe

Conrad: Writer for Psycho Machine Show

Angelo describes how the Pyscho Machine was developed in the following
 short excerpt:

“The insane robot-based photo web comic, complete with ambiguous
acronym, Psycho Machine Show was the result of a combination of
Twisted Kaiju Theater inspiration, a JamCam 2.0, and lots and lots of
Gundam action figures.  Listed on Top Web Comics, this joint venture
between Conrad and myself (Conrad supplying the camera, figures, and
plotlines while I would enhance the images, add word bubbles, and as
always maintain the site end) strives to make people chuckle through
the power of talking robots.  I'm certain that didn't come out right,
but nevertheless it's true.”

Dear bobbie7-ga,

Wow !!!  I didn't realize two folks were involved, but you gave 200%
of what I was expecting on the first one.  If you can find a bit more
on Conrad, I'd be happy to chip in another $20.  Do I need to post a
new question?

Dear Chris,
I’m glad you like what I’ve found, and I’ll see if I can dig up
anything else on Conrad.

Chris,
I sent an email to Conrad and Angelo.
I also looked up the Psycho Machine Show in the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office without any luck.

bobbie7-ga,

Thanks.  I think we are nearly at the end of the line on this one, but
do let me know if A2K or Conrad reply to you.

I notice that Conrad's email address is conradisman@hotmail.com.  Does
this mean or imply that his second name is Isman?  Is there any way to
check?  If this can be verified, I think I'll have as much as I need.

Regards.

Jojo,

At the Space Insomnia Guestbook there is a posting from Conrad dated
Nov. 11, 2002.

Name:   Conrad 
Location:   None yo busyness 
Favorite Space Insomnia Site:   P.M.S. 
How I found Space Insomnia:   I helped make the damn thing. 
Comments:   This site is supa cool! You maka it your flavorite site!
Iffa you don't, I eatta your spleens! [8)]

Given the wording he uses I would say Conrad is also a high school
student about the same age as Angelo. He must also live in Indiana as
they work together.

Conradīs profile at the discussion forum is sparse. 
http://www.space-insomnia.net/forum/index.php?s=988eae2fe297af761671d3a8d6b52fdc&act=Profile&CODE=03&MID=11

I did a search for Conrad Isman and was not able to locate anything. 
If Conrad or Angelo respond to the e-mail I sent, I’ll let you know.
Perhaps if you join their Psycho Machine forum you may be able to
discuss their comics with them personally.

Best Regards,
--Bobbie7-ga

Answer was fast, detailed and helpful.  There was probably no way to
get the last missing link by online searching.  Good value.
