Trained at Parsons School of Design and the Paris College of Art, David Miller’s illustrations and paintings reveal a disquieting fantasy world influenced by Eastern and central European art. Fascinated by that region's tradition of children's books, animation, graphic design, and advertising, Miller has imagined a very personal world of hybrid characters with contrasting features and fantastic bodies, surrounded by tapered bestiary images that a child might dream of. Visually striking and frightening, the collages, scribbled sketches, and writings present subtle and odd sense of humor.

Among Miller's accomplishments include the illustrations for Milan Kundera's book covers for the European paperback market. His work is frequently seen in The New York Times, The New Yorker, Rolling Stone, Newsweek, GQ, and Penthouse, and his submissions make their way yearly into Communication Arts illustration annual and American Illustration. In 2002 he was awarded the Silver Medal from the Society of Illustrators in New York for their 54th annual competition in the advertising category.

Miller has shown his work in galleries worldwide, most notably in an exhibition in Italy entitled "Contemporary American Illustration". This exhibition brings thirty of America's most cutting-edge illustrators to Rome, Venice, Bolzano, Padua, and Cagliari for a two year period sponsored by the Italian government. In the spring of 2002 he was invited to exhibit paintings at U prstenu Gallery located in Prague. This gallery regularly exhibits the Czech Republic's most highly regarded graphic and fine artists.

David’s studio is located in Bushwick, Brooklyn.
