==Biography==
Taurin Clarke, born May 19 in Brooklyn, New York, United States, is an American comic book artist and illustrator. Growing up, Star Wars: Dark Empire cover artist Dave DormanDark Empire 1 was a major influence on him.
For the Star Wars franchise, Clarke first illustrated a variant cover with colorist Jesus Aburtov for the second issue of the 2021 Marvel Comics series Star Wars: The High Republic. The variant, sold exclusively at Golden Apple Comics, depicts Jedi Knight Keeve Trennis facing a gang of Nihil raiders. On January 18, 2021, ahead of the issue's release, Clarke revealed a grayscale version of the variant cover. While illustrating the cover, he listened to the Finale track from the soundtrack of
 the 1980 film Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back extensively.
Clarke continued to contribute cover art for Star Wars comics in 2022 with five variant covers tying into the one-shot comic Revelations (2022) 1. The covers were created for the 2020 series Star Wars, Star Wars: Bounty Hunters, Star Wars: Darth Vader, Star Wars: Doctor Aphra, and the 2022 miniseries Star Wars: Han Solo & Chewbacca.
