Welcome Prof. Goñi!

Recent MFA recipient Goñi Montes will be joining the faculty at SCAD-Atlanta this fall, and we are very excited to have him onboard! While in the MFA program, Goñi set the standard in a very high-achieving group of students, and even before graduating was being recognized by some very large names in publishing. His imagination, design sense, amazing drawing ability and uncanny color sensitivity make for a powerful force in illustration.


Goñi will be teaching a section of ILLU200: Drawing and Design for Illustrators this fall.

Welcome, Goñi! You are going to help make it a great year at SCAD-Atlanta Illustration this year, and we're all very excited to have you here!

Goñi Montes is published on Tor.com

Our recent MFA grad Goñi Montes has officially been published by Tor.com. He did the illustrations for the online story The Cat Who Walked a Thousand Miles, by Kij Johnson.
Irene Gallo, the Tor Books Art Director, has been raving about his work and with good reason. The work is stunning, but it's what we have come to expect from Mr. Montes. Congrats, Goñi!

Yuko Interviews Edel Rodriguez

Our good friend Yuko Shimizo conducted a very insightful interview with Edel Rodriguez for Illustration Friday this week. It's worth a read, especially for those of you who are fond of wearing many hats, like Edel has.

Enjoy!
