Brandon Borchert 1971 - 2006

Brandon was a friend of the bands friends. His stuff was pretty cool.
Obit:
"Brandon Borchert made artwork that was all about controlled randomness, the quest to make order in a chaotic world.

In his Lottery Paintings, he assigned one of 53 numbers to various stylized graphic symbols, from bombs to bees, then used the most recent Powerball drawing to figure out what six images to include in each piece.

It was quirky, signature work, mature for a 35-year-old artist taking the legacy of art world movements such as Dada, Surrealism and Pop, then making it his own.

That search ended Tuesday when the artist's brother, Wayne Borchert, found Brandon Borchert dead in his Denver garage. The Denver medical examiner's office is terming his death an apparent suicide, investigator Stephen Ireland said."
