A member of the Pittsburgh Police's Graffiti Task Force said "Montano has real talent; he's an artist. These other guys are copycats. But they're all vandals."[1] MFONE's artistry was so well-respected that subsequent taggers have been referred to in the media as "no Daniel Montano."[1] Montano died from a heroin overdose in June 2017, when he was 31.[2] Personal lifeHis father is an engineer who emigrated from Colombia and his mother is a nurse.[2] He attended Liberty Elementary School, the Pittsburgh Creative and Performing Arts School, graduating from Peabody High School.[2] Following graduation, he studied at Art Institute of San Francisco.[2] 2005 Legal problemsIn August 2005, Montano was caught in East Liberty.[3] During his subsequent 2006 preliminary hearing, Judge John A. Zottola felt that Montaro had showed a general attitude of disrespect, and sent him to Allegheny County Jail for 5 days before resuming proceedings.[3] After entering a general guilty plea for three graffiti sites, Montaro received no probation and was ordered to pay restitution of $1,001 (in addition to the 5 days previously spent in jail).[3] The sentence was denounced as too lenient by local community leaders who lived in areas targeted by his graffiti, including Schenley Farms Neighborhood Block Watch network and Lawrenceville United."[3] Subsequent arrests and Mattress Factory installationOn March 17, 2007, he was arrested after an intensive police investigation, totaling over 100 police hours, that had been possible only because of changes in police tactics that included extensive tracking of graffiti in a police database.[4] At the time, it was described as the "largest graffiti bust in U.S. history," with the damages then-calculated as $560,764.50[4] In spite of the opinion of among property owners and community groups, Montano was developing "nascent esteem in the art world."[5] In 2007, he was commissioned to produce installation art at the Mattress Factory, a contemporary art museum in Pittsburgh.[5] His work, guest-curated by Heather Pesanti, an assistant curator of contemporary art at the Carnegie Museum of Art, was "a boy's room with a twin bed, a dresser, shelves and a traffic light.[3] On the wall, mixed-media collages and scrawled messages form a continuous row.[3] He brought the furniture from home and slept in his exhibit for the better part of two weeks while installing it"; the book Goodnight Moon was placed on the dresser.[5] During the construction of the work, he slept on the bed "making himself as much a part of the show as his personal effects."[6] In spite of objections to his appearance at the museum as the result of his graffiti, the facility supported Daniel Montano, with Michael Olijnyk, the in-house curator, saying "It's hard to see the artistic value in something that you have to have removed...That's a natural conflict. But at the Mattress Factory, we're just about the art. Everyone who comes here comes here because we find their work interesting. If the only stuff he did was on the street, he wouldn't be in the Mattress Factory."[5] On January 17, 2008, two days before the work's opening, he turned himself in to police after being charged with more counts of criminal mischief related to graffiti.[5] He was sentenced to 2 1/2 to 5 years in prison, probation, community service, and a restitution of $232,000.[7] In July 2016, Montano was charged with 40 counts of criminal mischief for newly created graffiti. Using a search warrant, police had found 197 cans of spray paint, books and stickers of graffiti, yellow lined paper with the graffiti tag “Israel” and other evidence at his home. In addition, police had observed pictures of Montano with new graffiti tags on his Facebook page.[8] References{{Portal|Pittsburgh}}{{commons category}}1. ^1 2 {{cite news | last =Ove | first =Torsten | title =City police say 15-year-old confessed to graffiti vandalism | newspaper =Pittsburgh Post-Gazette | date =August 28, 2007 | url =http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/local/neighborhoods-city/city-police-say-15-year-old-confessed-to-graffiti-vandalism-499115/ | accessdate = September 22, 2013}} {{Street art}}2. ^Prominent Pittsburgh graffiti artist dies of drug overdose, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, June 11, 2017 3. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite news | last =Jones | first =Diana Nelson | title =Graffiti vandal gets slap on wrist | newspaper =Pittsburgh Post-Gazette | date =August 2, 2006 | url =http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/local/neighborhoods-east/graffiti-vandal-gets-slap-on-wrist-444447/ | accessdate = September 22, 2013}} 4. ^1 {{cite news | last =Ayad | first =Moustafa | title =Skill with a spray can became his calling card | newspaper =Pittsburgh Post-Gazette | date =April 14, 2007 | url =http://www.post-gazette.com/neighborhoods-city/2007/04/14/Skill-with-a-spray-can-became-his-calling-card/stories/200704140158 | accessdate = October 27, 2013}} 5. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 {{cite news | last =Jones | first =Diana Nelson | title =The writing on the wall - With an art exhibition behind him and a trial in front of him, it's still not clear where 22-year-old Danny Montano belongs | newspaper =Pittsburgh Post-Gazette | date =January 27, 2008 | url =http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/local/neighborhoods-city/the-writing-on-the-wall-377847/ | accessdate = September 22, 2013}} 6. ^1 {{cite news | last =Norman | first =Tony | title =Daniel Montano, artist on the run | newspaper =Pittsburgh Post-Gazette| date =January 29, 2008 | url =http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/opinion/tony-norman/daniel-montano-artist-on-the-run-378126/ | accessdate =September 22, 2013 }} 7. ^{{cite news | last =Carroll | first =Lindsay | title =NYC man pleads guilty to vandalism for graffiti | newspaper =Pittsburgh Post-Gazette | date =June 25, 2010 | url =http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/local/neighborhoods-city/nyc-man-pleads-guilty-to-vandalism-for-graffiti-252818/ | accessdate =September 22, 2013|quote=Mr. Montano, who used the tag "MFONE," was sentenced in 2008 to 21/2 to five years in prison as well as probation, community service and a restitution of $232,000. }} 8. ^Convicted graffiti artist faces several new counts, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, July 11, 2016 6 : Year of birth missing|2017 deaths|San Francisco Art Institute alumni|American installation artists|Artists from Pittsburgh|American graffiti artists |
