Kadeem Montgomery was born and raised in Greater Portmore, Jamaica.

He describes his interests of design and art from:

“Always loved anything to do with art and I was always seen drawing cartoons at a young age.”

Check him on DeviantART Here

Check him on Behance Here

1. You have a varied educational background, what was your first taste of art & design when growing up in education, what (and where) first lead you to study art & design?

Living in Jamaica I began drawing at a young age coming home from school drawing anime such as Dragonball-z I loved that show. I did a art in high school but it did not work out because of the teacher and the school I guess I wasn’t inspired by my surrounding. It wasn’t until I left school in 2007 that i found out about Photoshop and began to experiment with it trying out new stuff and teaching myself various techniques. During that time I also did cape art and design in which I got a grade one (1) for some creative work in also 3d design and sculpting.

2. You have many accounts on various design and social networking sites, which do you find most useful and why?

Well right now I would say Behance because a lot of creative directors and freelance designers are there, that give great feedback and sometimes tell others about your work

3. Which communities (such as twitter) have you turned to when you need advice or feedback on designs, do you turn to particular people for this feedback? Are there any people you have built up a relationship which you would recommend?

Well I recently been chatting with Kevin Williams on DA where he is known as Methodologi.
He lives here in Jamaica and has given me some good advice, his work is amazing and some time in the future I hope to be as professional as he is in his work.

4. What has been the worse experience since being a working designer?

I’d have to say working on my Myspace learning to read css and flash. Another experience is dealing with cheap clients I know everyone has one of them.

5. If you had a closed client book and an indefinite amount of time for vacation or free time, what would you spend this time doing? Is there anything you have a great ambition to do in the future?

Well i would definitely go play football that’s all I did before I started to do graphic design probably tryout for Manchester United. But in the future I hope to have my own studio and be that go to guy that everyone wants to do there graphic and promotional work

Which is your favourite piece of Kareem’s work? Do you like his style? What other artists inspire you?

The vibrancy and colours found in this work alongside the cuteness and sweet nature of the characters, show a real personality and fun.
