Artist Profile: Tom Miller (1913 — 2004)
I wish there was more that I could tell you about Tom Miller, beyond that he was born in Canada and he was a prolific illustrator in the 50s and 60s. I searched for all the information that I could find online and the main thing I discovered is that there are several talented artists named Tom Miller. I may not have learned much about Tom Miller the pulp illustrator but I was happy to discover the work of Tom Miller, the Arizona sculptor and painter. Also, I enjoyed looking at the work of Ontario’s Tom Miller and the paintings of Baltmore’s Tom Miller.
As for Tom Miller the pulp illustrator, his work will just have to speak for itself.
