Monty navigates the borderlands between the absurd and the profound. His work feels like an earnest punk zine left in a philosophy professor’s mailbox—irreverent, imaginative, and intellectually sharp. He brings together unlikely elements—game shows and nightmares, sunny days and dark places-with a kind of fearless curiosity.

There’s a thread of playfulness throughout his projects but beneath that playfulness is a clear-eyed engagement with loss, memory, and meaning. He writes like someone who knows how weird life is, and who chooses to meet that weirdness not with cynicism, but with wonder—and maybe a slightly unhinged grin.”

The stories in The Melted Pieces come from the strange middle ground between memory and imagination. Created by a writer who grew up walking the streets of Tacoma now a collaborator on the show—these tales are shaped by real-life hardships, small victories, and moments of unexpected beauty. Some are funny. Some are haunting. Most are a little of both.

As an artist, Monty draws inspiration from dreams, late-night conversations, old sci-fi paperbacks, punk records, and the bizarre clarity that comes when reality starts to crack at the edges. Whether exploring a surreal childhood memory or unraveling a cosmic horror, he chases the emotional truth beneath the weirdness.

Each episode of The Melted Pieces is a shard of something larger—a melted artifact of experience, reassembled into a voice, a story, a flicker of recognition. These are stories for people who laugh when they should cry, who find magic in broken things, and who know that sometimes the best way to face the darkness is to tell it a joke.
