Welcome!
I’m David Montalvan — though you’ll often see my work signed as Monty. I’m an artist based in the Bronx, NYC, with a deep love for nature, storytelling, and small worlds.
When I’m not tending plants or volunteering at my local public garden, you’ll probably find me building and painting miniatures or gathered around a table for a great game. I’m endlessly inspired by artists like Arnold Lobel, Bill Watterson, Henry Selick, and Jim Henson—creators who balance strong design, atmosphere, and imagination.
This space is where my interests meet: tabletop art, miniature photography, and narrative. I’m exploring ways to tell rich stories at a small scale and composing detailed scenes that feel alive. I’m also in the process of refreshing my online presence, so more work and updates are on the way.
Thanks for stopping by.
