Once a real New York Madman, Miller Pope has subscribed to a slower paced life after settling in Ocean Isle Beach. He worked in the advertising business when it was in its hay day, long before photoshop. His illustrations depict a time of detectives, mobsters, guns, mystery and true romance; a doe-eyed heroine with a gun hidden in her purse. His drawings are reminiscent of a simpler time we sometimes long for, when men wore suits and women dressed to the nines.
He retired from the fast-paced New York life and moved to coastal Ocean Isle Beach where he opened The Winds Resort. He loves the coastal life but he still takes time to do his art, his life’s passion.
