Milton liked when work wasn’t designed, but looked as though it just happened.
Made a book with Jean Michael Folon called The Conversation, composed of drawings that represented their friendship in that it was a series of misunderstandings.

Did a lot of designing for supermarkets, like Grand Union.
A trip to Italy greatly changed his view.
His love for food is prominent in some of his work, such as restaurant menus and restaurants.
He has done a number of children’s books with his wife Shirley.
