Mark Wilkinson (born in Windsor, England on 3 October 1952) is an English illustrator. He is best known for the detailed surrealistic cover art he created for a number of British bands. His breakthrough came through his association with the neo-progressive rock band Marillion in the 1980s. He went on to design art for the subsequent solo career of their lead singer Fish as well as bands such as Judas Priest and Iron Maiden. Though versed in a number of techniques, he is considered to be a master of the airbrush.
Wilkinson's break came with his designs for Marillion in the 1980s, who were then second only to Iron Maiden in terms of their sales of t-shirts and merchandise. Wilkinson's first artistic creation for Marillion was the cover of their debut 12" EP Market Square Heroes (1982). Subsequently, Wilkinson's art work would be used on all of Marillion's albums and 12" releases through The Thieving Magpie (1988). When Fish left the band Wilkinson went with him, providing the artwork for several of his 1990s albums and singles. In 1997, he collaborated with Bill Smith Studios (which had replaced him as Marillion's official art group) on the Best of Both Worlds compilation CD. The compilation included songs from the eras of the band with and without Fish, and the record label, EMI, decided it should also include artwork reflective of both eras. In 2000, Fish and Wilkinson collaborated on a book, Masque, which, in "back and forth" format, described the process by which the Fish and Marillion album covers were created. Wilkinson will likely always be most closely identified with Fish and Marillion (in a similar fashion to Roger Dean's association with Yes or Paul Whitehead's association with Genesis).
Wilkinson's latest acoustic release, Hand Picked Vol. 2, debuted at #2 on iTunes singer-songwriter charts in Australia on December 18, 2015. SiriusXM radio premiered the new music in the U.S. and Canada on January 9, 2016.
Wilkinson's second studio album, "Let The River Run" (August 2013) hit #2 on the Australian iTunessinger-songwriter charts within 24 hours of release, surpassing artists like Grammy nominee Ed Sheeran, The Lumineers, and Jake Bugg. As of November 2013, the album had reached #1 on iTunes singer-songwriter charts. The album also debuted at #2 on the AIR Charts and at #61 on the ARIA charts, while the single 'Middle Ground' which was featured in a Nescafé ad campaign in June 2013 went on to reach #2 on the Aussie iTunessinger-songwriter charts and #12 on the ARIA charts (singles). 'Middle Ground' was also featured on Wilkinson's 2012 acoustic album,"Hand Picked", the first in the fan-favorite acoustic series, which is still holding in the iTunes charts Top 10. '
Mark James Philip Wilkinson (born 21 October 1977) is an English former professional rugby union player. He spent his three-year professional career at Newcastle Falcons, alongside his brother, Jonny Wilkinson, predominantly playing as a Centre.
In August 2002, Wilkinson signed for the Newcastle Falcons, where his brother, Jonny, was captain. He made his professional debut against Leeds Carnegie, playing as centre, but unusually, for that position, wearing the 15 shirt. His performance drew praise from then-manager Rob Andrew, whom stated "It was a pretty big debut for someone who hasn't played higher than Third Division North before." He made his European Challenge Cup debut in a 27–8 defeat to Treviso, His first appearance at fly-half, would not prove successful, as Newcastle lost 20–0 against London Irish. At the end of the season, he had made six appearances in the league, and five in the European Challenge Cup. He would feature far less the following season, making just four league appearances, and two Challenge Cup appearances, although he did score his first professional tries against Valladolid RAC in a 71–10 victory for the Falcons. He made five Premiership appearances in the 2004/05 season, with his Heineken Cup debut coming against Gwent Dragons, playing at fly half in a 25–17 victory. 2005/06 would see him make just one appearance, a brief appearance from the substitute's bench in a 27–18 defeat against Saracens.
Wilkinson has been described by Eliot Nusbaum, writing in the Sunday Times, as the "Mozart of Kitchen Cabinet Makers" while the Editor of the key publication for interior designers and product designers, idFX, called him the "Finest Designer of our Time". He received the kitchen industry's inaugural Lifetime Achievement Award in 2004, and the T at the industry awards ceremony in 2007. His furniture too is award winning, every range carrying the Guild Mark of the Worshipful Company of Furniture Makers, while the company that bears his name was awarded the Employer of the Year Award for the work it has been doing over the past ten years in providing Apprenticeships for young Furniture Makers. The apprenticeship scheme saw Wilkinson working with the local Wiltshire College to adapt an existing course to suite the specific needs of cabinet making. In 2008, he opened a showroom in New York City.

When Fish left the band Wilkinson went with him, providing the artwork for several of his 1990s albums and singles. In 1997, he collaborated with Bill Smith Studios (which had replaced him as Marillion's official art group) on the Best of Both Worlds compilation CD.

In 2000, Fish and Wilkinson collaborated on a book, Masque, which, in "back and forth" format, described the process by which the Fish and Marillion album covers were created. Wilkinson will likely always be most closely identified with Fish and Marillion (in a similar fashion to Roger Dean's association with Yes or Paul Whitehead's association with Genesis).
The kitchen – designed by the late MarkWilkinson, who counted Michel Roux and Elton John among his clients – has Gaggenau appliances and the obligatory AGA range cooker, plus Belgian blue limestone fossil-studded flooring.
