Harland Miller
Harland Miller (born 1964) is a writer and artist from Yorkshire, England. He studied at Chelsea College of Art, earning an MA in 1988.
Miller’s first novel, Slow Down Arthur, Stick to Thirty, was published in 2000 to critical acclaim. In the same year he released a novella, At First I Was Afraid, I Was Petrified, about obsessive-compulsive disorder. It uses a hoard of Polaroid photos of oven knobs set to “Off” found by him and a relative.
He is best known for his giant canvases that imitate Penguin Book covers, often with funny or sardonic titles such as Whitby - The Self Catering Years; Rags to Polyester - My Story; York, So Good They Named It Once; and Incurable Romantic Seeks Dirty Filthy Whore.
