James Marsh (born 27 July 1946) is a British illustrator and artist. He studied at the Bath Academy of Art and later the National Diploma in Design, beginning his career in the late 1960s. Marsh became widely recognised for his highly detailed and imaginative illustrations, often combining surrealism with precise draughtsmanship. His work has appeared in publications including The Sunday Times Magazine and across record covers, book illustration, and editorial commissions.
