Goni Montes.

I was born in Ponce, Puerto Rico, where I lived most of my life. After attending the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez and acquiring a BA in Fine Arts, I began working as a scientific illustrator for the Puerto Rico Sea Grant.

To pursue a career in editorial work (and whatnot), I moved to Atlanta, GA and obtained an MFA in illustration from the Savannah College of Art and Design.

Today I freelance from Decatur, GA, teach a class or two at SCAD, and assist my friend Bill Mayer in a few of his crazed projects. Clients include Draft FCB, Oz Magazine, Puerto Rico Sea Grant, Spin Master, Tor Books, The Village Voice, The Washington Post, The Work Style Magazine, among others.
