Currently we have a series of projects going on at Concept Art House. Frank Miller is one of our favorite iconic collaborations, so let's look forward to its return! Let's review the story of CAH and Frank Miller......

 To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Sin City, Frank Miller partnered with our Concept Art House and Gala Games, the industry's leading blockchain gaming platform, to create a collection of irreplaceable tokens (NFT) based on the Sin City franchise.

 Frank Miller is considered one of the most influential and award-winning creators in entertainment today, known for his fierce, ruthless storytelling and gritty noir aesthetic in comics, novels and films.

 Early Career

Miller became a professional comic book artist while in his teens, working on a variety of assignments for major publishers, including Gold Key, DC and Marvel. He first drew attention to his work on two issues of Marvel's Spectacular Spider Man, in a story that teamed the iconic arachnid with another popular character, Daredevil. Miller was then offered the regular penciling slot on Daredevil's own book and, soon after, took over the writing chores on the Daredevil title. Over the next several years, in collaboration with inker Klaus Janson, he created the ninja assassin-for-hire, Elektra.

 In the early 1980s, Miller attracted further attention as one of the first comic freelancers who braved the field outside the comfortable world of company-owned characters with the creation of Ronin, a futuristic high-tech samurai pop adventure. It was the first of several collaborations with Lynn Varley.

 Film Career

Miller made his feature film directorial debut in 2005 with Sin City, the adaptation of his graphic novel, which he co-directed with Robert Rodriguez. The critically acclaimed film was nominated for a Palme d'Or at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival, won the Austin Film Critics Award and garnered a Czech Lion nomination. In 2015, Miller and Rodriguez returned as co-directors on a sequel with Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, reuniting the duo with returning cast members as well as series newcomers Josh Brolin, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Eva Green and Lady Gaga among others.

 In 2007, Miller served as an executive producer on Zack Snyder’s blockbuster 300, based on his own graphic novel, written by Miller and painted by Lynn Varley. The film went on to gross over $456 million dollars worldwide in box office alone. In 2008, he wrote and directed his second feature, The Spirit, an action fantasy based on the Will Eisner comic book series and starring Gabriel Macht, Eva Mendes, Sarah Paulson, Scarlett Johansson, and Samuel L. Jackson.

 Awards

The Sin City books have garnered numerous awards, including two Harvey awards for Best Graphic Album of Original Work in 1998 and Best Continuing Series in 1996. Additional awards include six Eisner Awards: Best Writer/Artist, Best Graphic Novel Reprint, Best Cartoonist, Best Cover Artist, Best Limited Series and Best Short Story. In 2015, Miller was inducted into the Will Eisner Award Hall of Fame for his lifetime of contributions to the industry.

Most Recently

Recently, Miller illustrated Cursed, his young adult novel debut with writer Thomas Wheeler, published by Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, a reimagining of the King Arthur legend from the point of view of sixteen-year-old Nimue, the young woman who first wielded Excalibur and became the all-powerful Lady of the Lake. Cursed is now an original Netflix series starring Katherine Langford, with Miller serving as co-creator and executive producer.

 Concept Art House is very honored to have the opportunity to cooperate with Frank Miller last year and completed many wonderful works with him. So far, these works are undoubtedly successful. Let's look forward to the future cooperation with Frank Miller!
