The Vig Company is an independent creative and investment firm founded in 2009 and working from Madison, Viroqua, and Chicago. The company primarily supports the work of artist and writer Stick Vega, whose explosion-based artworks, books, and screen projects explore energy, landscape, and story in unexpected ways. Much of that creative work begins at The Blast Factory, Vega’s studio and workshop, where experiments turn into images, images turn into stories, and stories sometimes turn into books like Less Killing and the country-noir thriller DRIFTLESS. At The Vig Company, the idea is simple: back bold work you believe in and stay close enough to help it reach the world. 💥📚

Alongside its creative work, The Vig Company operates a financial division focused on a top-performing, disciplined, stock-and-bond strategy followed by a core group of investors who appreciate clarity over hype. The goal is economic growth that makes creative risk possible. Art, capital, and publishing don’t usually live in the same building—but at The Vig Company they share the same table, somewhere between the Driftless hills and the Chicago skyline. And yes—Buck is probably keeping an eye on things. 🐾
