Lance "Link" Montoya, artist and sculptor, was born and raised in Alameda, California, United States.
As a teenager, Lance worked with Les Claypool, of Primus fame, at a Bay Area pro audio company.
Influenced by his older brother's collection of Creepy and Eerie magazines, Lance's oddball art style almost landed him in the psychiatry couch in middle school.
School officials concerned about an early cartoon character, a chain saw wielding maniac called "Gut Man", contacted his mother to schedule a session.
Link has been commissioned to create sculpture for "The Hundreds" urban clothing line based out of Los Angeles, California.
