Mark Harrison (born 1951) is a UK-based artist whose career spans both fantasy illustration and fine art painting. Initially establishing himself as a prolific freelance illustrator from 1974 to 2002, Harrison created over 480 book jacket illustrations primarily for fantasy and science fiction publishers across the UK and US. Around 2003-2005, he transitioned exclusively to fine art, initially working in chalk pastel before adopting oil paint as his primary medium. Harrison's work explores diverse themes, evolving from Southeast Asian influences and imaginative realism to evocative cityscapes of London and New York, and more recently, striking single light source paintings including moonlit scenes. His artistic philosophy emphasizes beauty and mystery beyond mere prettiness. Harrison's achievements include the British Science Fiction Association's prize for Best Artwork (1991/1992), multiple Chesley Award nominations, and exhibition in prestigious venues including London's Mall Galleries and Cork Street galleries.
