Velvet Rasputin LLC - Collaborators Past and Present

Creative Director
Reverend Vas Littlecrow Wojtanowicz is a Puerto Rican-born multidisciplinary artist and ordained minister based out of Rice, MN. This dynamic creator's primary focus is the written word, but inspiration may also be drawn from outsider art, nature, and abstract expressionism. Vas's experiments tend to be weird, extremely colorful, and often deal with disturbing themes like trauma, social breakdown, identity issues, disillusion with organized religion, mental illness, and alienation, when they aren't about faith, flowers or textile surfaces.
The Team
Loki Kaspari works as a farmer when he isn’t creating comics. Loki’s published comics include Killer Dyke and Poe Takes a Trip. He is a frequent collaborator for Rasputin Barxotka and Rasputin Catamite.
