Miller published his first novel Slow Down Arthur, Stick to Thirty, published by Fourth Estate, to critical acclaim in 2000.[1][2]  In the same year he published a novella titled At First I was Afraid, I was Petrified. Published by Book Works, the novella is a study of obsessive compulsive disorder. It is based on a hoard of hundreds of Polaroids found by Miller and taken by a relative of his, all of oven knobs all turned to “Off”.[3]

Miller is probably best known for his giant canvases of Penguin Book covers. The titles are sardonic statements about life - Whitby - The Self Catering Years, Rags to Polyester - My Story, York, So Good They Named It Once, Incurable Romantic Seeks Dirty Filthy Whore.[4][5][6]
