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 comic art, 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

He is a frequent collaborator for Rasputin Barxotka and Rasputin Catamite.Blaine Wells works in freight, and helps out as Vas's creative assistant during down time.Deep Art Effects is German AI illustration software that assists Vas by creating mashup art using original photos and hand-drawn art, as well as legally licensed images for earlier works.Amanda “Mandarr” House enjoys reading sci-fi and fantasy books.
