Stick Vega said, "Please join us that night. You will be able have a great beer, eat some great food, and meet the Beer Guppies first hand. All this and you get to help our lakes. Weather permitting we will fire up the Not-A-Flamethrower and fry some artistic fish.”

Artist Stick Vega studied mathematics and economics, earning a B.S. in economics from UW-Madison and an MBA from Edgewood College. He owned and was CEO of online apparel retailers WinterSilks and Venus Sportswear.  However, upon selling the companies more than a decade ago he headed straight to his studio - The Blast Factory in Madison, WI - to create explosive, modern art with gunpowder and high-speed fuse.  Stick's current work includes paintings, drawings, fusographs (exploded photographs) and writing. Please follow Stick on Facebook and/or Twitter.
