John P. Miller

Production Designer / Illustrator / Animator | * 08/31/1913 († 91, 10/29/2004) | New York City / NYC (United States of America (USA))

Children's book illustrator and Disney studios character designer. "Following a stint at Grand Central Art School in New York, Miller moved to Hollywood during the depression. He found work in Disney’s story department in 1934 and saw the studio expand from short films to features before leaving to serve in World War II. After the war, he and other Disney veterans were recruited by Golden Books to create images that would be enjoyed by generations. Miller continued to work as a freelance illustrator into his 80s. Samples of his work were shown this month in a Golden Books exhibition at the Donnell Library Center opposite the Museum of Modern Art in New York. He is survived by his half brother, George E. Miller, also of Manhasset." —http://www.animationmagazine.net/people/disney-artist-j-p-miller-dead-at-91/.
