February 4, 2013 by Jerry Miller

A spot illustration of Artie Lange who was performing in Las Vegas at the Hard Rock Hotel adn Casino at the time.

Bill Gates

February 28, 2012 by Jerry Miller

Back in February 2009, Bill Gates unleashed a swarm of mosquitoes at a TED conference in California. It was apparently a noble effort to highlight the dangers of malaria. It scared the (mostly rich and famous) attendees and resulted in my receiving an illustration assignment from Seattle Metropolitan Magazine, so all’s well that ends well! […]

The Las Vegas Weekly advises “Let’s forget the epic suckage of 2009; here are 36 reasons you should give next year a chance…” This is the first time I have gotten a chance to paint Barry Manilow—hIave to say, he and that nose made the job fun. Having a cover illustration is a very nice […]

Celebrity Misbehavior

August 13, 2009 by Jerry Miller

This Illustration for the Las Vegas Weekly comes in response to the city’s desire to build and promote a museum in honor of the mob’s history in Las Vegas.
