Jon Chonko is busy right now growing his beard and manipulating the way the world looks. As a designer at thehappycorp, that’s his job. Make new things to put inside the world. How cool is that?

Two years ago Jon decided his life was decidedly lacking in manliness. To remedy this, Jon painted his body and leapt through a bonfire kindled with his newly shorn hair. His male friends watched and decided that indeed, Jon had become a man. Then they all sweated together in a manly sweat man lodge.

Jon is going to head thehappycorp’s new Man Ceremony program, dedicated to helping emasculated 18 year olds get in touch with loin cloths and Aboriginal paint. Want to sign up? You can hold a spear and chant.

Jon’s other interests include finding giant sidewalk cocks and curing codpieces. Most of the time he reminds of a cross between Uncle Manny just back from a seven-year stint at Leavenworth and King Richard home from the Crusades–always returning from somewhere to sit at a table and gorge himself on meat and drink, laughing all the while about your sister, OH GOD, what he did with your sister…

A little bit of incurable insanity makes the world go round. You can join the Jon Chonko Fanclub on Facebook.
