Goni Montes
Goni was born in Ponce, Puerto Rico, where he lived most of his life. After attending the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez and acquiring a BA in Fine Arts, he began working as a scientific illustrator for the Puerto Rico Sea Grant. To pursue a career in editorial work, he moved to Atlanta, GA and obtained an MFA in illustration from the Savannah College of Art and Design. Today, Goni freelances from Decatur, GA, teaches a class or two in SCAD, and assists friend Bill Mayer in a few of his crazed projects.
His pieces have been featured in professional and student shows for both Society of Illustrators Los Angeles and New York, and he has been recognized and awarded for his excellence in digital painting and printmaking by the University of Puerto Rico.
