Brandon Aspenlieder


Brandon creates imagery based off of his favorite moments, places, and experiences shared with others. Creating works about his time on his Grandfather’s farm in Montana, the Badlands in North Dakota, his visits to carnivals, as well as experiences that happened the day he is working. Brandon not only makes work almost completely from memory, but the objects he draws, such as farm and carnival equipment, is made with nearly perfect proportions and scale, not forgetting the smallest detail. Brandon’s work also contains an element of pattern, as he’ll often draw the same object over and over. Brandon is a great piano player and is able to learn new songs just by listening to them. During his time at Imagine That he has greatly improved and expanded his skillset with his willingness to try any new medium.
