Edwards studied at Hornsey College of Art between 1968 and 1972, where he says he was "firmly advised that he would never be an illustrator"{{Cite web |title=The Art of Les Edwards – Biography |url=http://lesedwards.com/bio.php |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090803190412/http://lesedwards.com/bio.php |archive-date=3 August 2009 |website=lesedwards.com |accessdate=13 September 2009}} due to a general perception in the department that the job was too difficult,{{Cite web |year=2008 |title=Kane Interviews |url=http://www.shadow-writer.co.uk/edwardsinterview.htm |website=shadow-writer.co.uk |accessdate=8 October 2009}} and later claiming that the experience failed to provide much of use in later years.{{Cite web |date=29 January 2009 |title=Fantasy Art – Les Edwards/Edward Miller |url=http://darkwolfsfantasyreviews.blogspot.com/2009/01/fantasy-art-les-edwardsedward-miller.html |website=darkwolfsfantasyreviews.blogspot.com |accessdate=8 October 2009}} After graduating, Edwards was taken on by the Young Artists agency in London, and began working as a freelance illustrator.{{Cite book |last=Clute |first=John |title=The Encyclopedia of Fantasy |last2=Grant, John |publisher=Orbit |year=1997 |isbn=978-1-85723-368-1 |location=London |page=311}}

Over the course of his prolific career Edward's work has included advertising campaigns, graphic novels and film design, but he is perhaps best known for his book jacket illustrations spanning the horror, fantasy and science fiction genres. Over the years he has provided many illustrations for genre titles, including numerous pieces for Robert E.

Edwards has illustrated two graphic novels, both adapted by Steve Niles from short stories in Clive Barker's Books of Blood. Having met at the World Fantasy Convention in London, Barker later recalled Edwards and recommended him to Eclipse Books for the first, Son of Celluloid; after its success Rawhead Rex followed. Edwards also created the UK publicity posters for the films The Thing,{{Cite web |title=The Thing |url=http://www.lesedwards.com/showpic.php?id=4&pid=99 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101126104117/http://lesedwards.com/showpic.php?id=4&pid=99 |archive-date=26 November 2010 |website=lesedwards.com |accessdate=8 October 2009}} Graveyard Shift{{Cite web |title=Graveyeard Shift |url=http://www.lesedwards.com/showpic.php?id=2&pid=455 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090906072155/http://www.lesedwards.com/showpic.php?id=2&pid=455 |archive-date=6 September 2009 |website=www.lesedwards.com |accessdate=8 October 2009}} and Nightbreed,{{Cite web |title=Nightbreed |url=http://www.lesedwards.com/showpic.php?id=2&pid=81 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090906081236/http://www.lesedwards.com/showpic.php?id=2&pid=81 |archive-date=6 September 2009 |website=lesedwards.com |accessdate=8 October 2009}} the latter a commission he received as a result of Clive Barker's influence.

Edwards has also provided a number of record covers during his career. A portion of one of his illustrations, originally created for The Devils of D-Day by Graham Masterton was also used as cover art for Metallica's early single, "Jump in the Fire",{{Cite web |title=The Devils of D-Day |url=http://lesedwards.com/showpic.php?id=4&pid=177 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090917220702/http://lesedwards.com/showpic.php?id=4&pid=177 |archive-date=17 September 2009 |website=lesedwards.com |accessdate=13 September 2009}} whilst his painting The Croglin Vampire appeared as the cover of the album "Alive and Screamin' by Swiss band Krokus.{{Cite web |title=The Croglin Vampire |url=http://www.lesedwards.com/showpic.php?id=4&pid=90 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101126103917/http://lesedwards.com/showpic.php?id=4&pid=90 |archive-date=26 November 2010 |website=lesedwards.com |accessdate=13 October 2009}} More recently he produced the inner artwork for the album Music for the Jilted Generation by The Prodigy.{{Cite web |title=Music for the Jilted Generation |url=http://www.lesedwards.com/showpic.php?id=6&pid=145 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101010165741/http://lesedwards.com/showpic.php?id=6&pid=145 |archive-date=10 October 2010 |website=lesedwards.com |accessdate=13 October 2009}}

In recent years, Edwards has also begun working under the pseudonym "Edward Miller", a move designed to allow him to pursue a more diverse range of commissions without any assumptions on the part of publishers based on his prior work, particularly any restrictive association with the horror genre.

Edwards has won the British Fantasy Award for Best Artist seven times.{{Cite web |title=The British Fantasy Awards: a Short History |url=http://www.britishfantasysociety.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=129&Itemid=63 |website=britishfantasysociety.org |accessdate=13 September 2009}} He has been nominated three times for a World Fantasy Award and won, as Edward Miller, in 2008.

Edwards is now represented by his wife, Val Edwards, with whom he lives in Brighton, England. When not painting, his pastimes include model kit building, playing the guitar and fencing.

Edwards often refers to his vintage horror work as his 'Red Period', a reference to the profusion of gore prevalent in horror illustration at the time, and to more recent work as his 'Blue Period'. Edwards is generally known for his emphasis on portrait elements, whilst as Miller, on the other hand, he places a greater emphasis on landscapes, and what he views as a more 'romantic style'.

Amongst Edwards' influences he cites the early influence of comic illustrator Frank Bellamy, particularly the Heros the Spartan strip, as well as Eagle's Dan Dare, and a later love for the work of illustrator Bruce Pennington, and describes a childhood attraction to anything 'strange or bizarre', drawing from a very early age, inspired by comics and film. His later exposure to macabre and violent elements in the work of more traditional artists, such as Goya's Saturn Devouring His Son, left an impression. Other major influences include William Blake, John Singer Sargent and John Everett Millais.

Although he has also occasionally used gouache, and more recently has often worked in acrylics, Edwards' original medium of choice is oil paint. This is used on any smooth board, ideally hardboard, which is primed with gesso. Following from preliminary sketches, images are constructed on the support with a hard pencil before being developed using washes of a neutral coloured acryclic, usually brown, a technique Edwards says he borrowed from 'the old masters'. The oils are mixed with an alkyd medium called liquin, which thins the paint and speeds drying time. Edwards and Miller are also separated by distinctions of medium, with pieces under the Miller name more typically executed in acrylic paint on canvas panels as opposed to Edward's more usual use of oils on smooth board. Recently Edwards has also begun working in the digital medium with programs like Painter, enjoying the freedom afforded with computers, although he continues to express a preference for traditional painting techniques.
