Artist Spotlight: The Art Of . . . Aaron Miller

In the few short years 'The Geeky Nerfherder' blog has been going, I've discovered a lot of great art by a lot of superbly talented artists, and the list is ever-growing. I'm always discovering new art and artists - from blogs, by following artists and galleries through social media, and from thumbing through artbooks like Spectrum and more.

My interest isn't just in pop culture and vintage pulp art, but also in the fantastical imaginative realism and contemporary art. Art that explores the imagination of the artists, bringing their visions to life using traditional and digital paintings, drawings, illustration, sculpting, or collage.

I've previously showcased a few of my favourite pop culture and vintage pulp artists, and each weekend I'll be featuring art from more of my favourite artists, many of which I've featured before on the blog, as well as on my Instagram, Tumblr and Pinterest, when they've released new works, had their work in art exhibitions or just posting favourites from their portfolio.

I begin my Artist Spotlight series with the art of Aaron Miller.
