Les Edwards
Artist


Dragon's Time by Les Edwards – part of The Imaginariad Collection
Les Edwards is a renowned British artist whose work has defined the visual tone of horror, fantasy, and science fiction for over five decades. With a signature style rooted in realism and atmosphere, he has created iconic cover art for authors such as Stephen King, Clive Barker, and Tanith Lee. His illustrations, ranging from chilling horror scenes to grand fantasy epics, have appeared on novels, in film concept work, and across the world of gaming. Edwards is also a recipient of multiple British Fantasy Awards and the prestigious Chesley Award, recognising his lasting contribution to the field.
Working under the pseudonym Edward Miller, he explores a more lyrical and painterly approach, often depicting moody landscapes and quieter, dreamlike visions of the fantastic. This dual identity showcases his extraordinary versatility and ongoing passion for narrative art. Through both names, Les Edwards has built a legacy of storytelling through image—captivating generations of readers, collectors, and fans of imaginative realism.
