Louie Cordero, last but not least, is our third mega-talented Perverse Universe artist.

Louie is from Manila, Philippines, where he currently lives and works. We scoured the internet for a portfolio site that showcases Louie’s stunning paintings, drawings, and sculptures, but the best we could do is this profile from the Jonathan Levine Gallery, where he recently exhibited his most recent body of work, Sacred Bones.

His work often explores Filipino culture and identity with visceral and layered imagery, and works from a vast range of references, including American pop culture, Catholicism, and The Philippines’ history of colonization.

The green beauty you see below is a sculpture made from his friends’ chewed gum. As you can see, Louie is no stranger to experimental materials.

Neither is Louie a stranger to comics. Nardong Tae is his self-published underground comic series about the adventures of a hapless boy who was struck by alien feces and subsequently turned into a mutant. Yes, you read correctly. The series appears to be more light-hearted than his gallery work. It has garnered cult followings in Japan and the Philippines, as well as Nardong Tae collectible toys (below) modeled after the series’ protagonist.

They are apparently quite hard to find! Louie Cordero is definitely one to keep your eyes on–his illustrated interview follows shortly. You can get one of his wallets here!

Ask and you shall receive. We remember asking Jon Vermilyea for simple napkin doodles for this interview, but it looks like he doesn’t hold back! Read on and check out his very detailed depictions of the ravages of age and mythical beasts.

Thanks so much, Jon!
Don’t forget to check out Jon’s two wallet designs for Poketo: Vermilyea wallet 1 and Vermilyea wallet 2; and a limited edition silkscreen print from his Mars Attacks series!

Meet Jon Vermilyea, another amazing Perverse Universe artist. He studied cartooning at the School of Visual Arts in New York and served as Production Manager for visual culture hub PictureBox Inc upon graduating. Jon has since gone rogue as a freelance illustrator, lending his talents to apparel, comics, animation and screenprints.

Recent projects include a five-color silkscreen book based on the Mars Attacks imagery from the 1960′s (on which his wallet designs are based), and a very psychedelic music video for Animal Collective’s My Girls.

Jon has done extensive comics work for publishers like Fantagraphics and Vice Magazine, and two of them, Pizzatime and The Princes of Time, are available at Poketo here. They are sure to make stellar additions to your comics collections.

When Matt Furie sent us some mail with a doodle on it, we were inspired to ask for even more doodles. Especially considering the fan reactions–it was an instant hit! We hope you enjoy the following illustrated interview.

Thanks, Matt!
