As an artist, Montague’s illustration work is spread across the internet daily and can regularly be seen on newsstands in Joanna and Chip Gaine’s The Magnolia Journal.

Montague Workshop is the creative agency Brad runs alongside his wife, Kristi. They serve as a ‘friendly bureau of imagination’ working to reimagine the future through the stories people tell and the ways they are told. From large brands and events to projects with Cartoon Network, the Walt Disney Company, the Fred Rogers Center and more, Montague Workshop is a joyfully rebellious breath of fresh air. With a special emphasis on finding ways kids and grownups can work together, their work is always about inspiring, encouraging and entertaining.
Montague is the force behind ‘Socktober’ the worldwide annual drive connecting people to their local homeless shelters. Each year millions of people take part in providing basic human needs to men, women, and children without homes. It is a community driven project where people take part for no reward or recognition, but strictly for the good of their neighbors who are homeless.
