He is best known for the detailed surrealistic cover art he created for a number of British bands.Wilkinson's 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.
