About Me

My name is Dave Miles and I'm a gadfly as well as an eclectic artist. I guess that makes me a nerd with a paint brush. This is my personal myspace page.

My co-conspirator, wife, best friend, fellow art fiend, and representative A.K. Miles is reachable below in my top friends so be sure to look her up. Thank you for visiting!

My Interests

Art history, film, some poetry, science(general physics, nuclear physics, astronomy, cosmology, astrophysics, psychology,geology,biology), philosophy, literature, music, carnivorous plants (I've been growing them for 9 years), I collect classic science-fiction magazines and paperbacks (1940's to 1970's) and drinking good ale (or sometimes I enjoy any number of combination of these).

My guilty pleasures include: chili dogs, the band Korn, and '80s action movies.

Here are a few of my creations:

"Cousteau" Collaboration of A.K.Miles and Dave Miles 30"X24" 2007

"Animals of the Atom" 30"X24" 2007

"Schrödingers Cheshire Cat" 18"X22" 2007

"Divida la Fruta, Libere el Mundo" 11"X17" 2007

"Gödel" 30"x24" 2007

I'd like to meet:

Enthusiasts, Collectors, Curators, Sculptors, Writers, Activists, Feminists, Gadflies, Conservationists, Philanthropist, Poets, Philosophers, Astronauts, and other like minded artists. I'm here to connect with authentic, ambitious, genuine people.

Please no Revisionists, Fundamentalists, Salesmen, Porn bots, Spammers, or Evangelical Christians. Thank you in advance for not friending with me.

Another lucky miracle recipient! (this cheese sandwich sold for 28,000$ on ebay)
