Monticello Miller (1952 – 2011) was the original founder of "The Lady Between the Lines Art Agency", in the US. He was the first to recognize and exhibit the artwork of young graffiti artists in Los Angeles. Monticello even re-defined graffiti art by referring to it as "Urban Hidden Literature". Among the first of the great Urban Hidden Literature artists were Alex Zendejas and David Martinez.



He used LBL to gather artists from around the globe. His slogan was "Artist to artist: together we are powerful." 

​

Monti lived life fearlessly, and to the fullest. He was a painter, photographer, curator and musician. He was not afraid to pursue his dreams and was never swayed by what others thought of him. He lost his battle with stomach cancer in 2011. We miss him dearly.
