Mark A. Garlick is a former professional astronomer. He graduated from the Mullard Space Science Laboratory, UK, with a Ph.D. in astrophysics in September 1993, and secured a research post in theoretical astronomy at the University of Sussex, in Brighton. In 1996 he put down the telescope and is now a full-time science writer, illustrator and fine artist, working on a freelance basis. Because of his academic background, he specialises in the accurate depiction of astronomical phenomenon, balancing his scientific knowledge with an artistic sense. He also does science fiction art. His images have appeared in the hundreds in magazines and books (often on the covers), in other publications and on television, and his artwork has won international acclaim three years running in an international digital art contest partially sponsored by Scientific American, Boeing and others. He has written for several outlets, including The Guardian, New Scientist, Scientific Computing World, Modern Astronomer, Quest, Astronomy Now, Scientific American, Astronomy and Sky & Telescope--the latter three being US publications. He has also written four books: two were published in 2002, one in March 2004, and for the other, a novel, he has yet to seek publication. |
