Here are two nice quotes about my work
Julian Montague’s droll Secondary Occupants Collected and Observed (2008–9) is a nutty mixture of graphic design and taxonomic brio, a multi-dimensional catalogue of non-human home invaders – rodents, birds and insects – that suggests the work of a deranged but thorough researcher. –Steven Stern, Frieze Magazine
Intense, witty and laced with menace –Benjamin Gennochio in the New York Times reviewing an early Stray Shopping Cart installation

Over the years I have self published a number of promotional pieces for my art projects. The most successful were two folding posters I made to promote the Stray Shopping Cart and Secondary Occupants projects. Whenever possible I like to design the promotional materials for my exhibitions and related events.
