He became interested in drawing early in his childhood. In 1937, at age 20, he moved to Chicago and began working for Kling and Associates, one of the foremost art studios in America. At Kling the kid from Oakland confidently handled art chores on major national advertising accounts such as Heinz soups. In 1942, as the war was calling, Pete Hawley hoped to serve his nation as a bomber pilot. Unfortunately for him (and perhaps fortunately for us?) it was discovered he was red/green colorblind. Hawley was instead assigned to head up the art department at Fort Mead, Maryland. There he and the men he supervised produced posters, pamphlets and instruction manuals for the war effort. After the war, Pete Hawley illustrated countless ads for the various divisions of the JANTZEN clothing company. As Hawley's Jantzen girls began to bow out at the end of the 50's it was his affinity for drawing cute characters that increasingly took center stage with his clients. Around 1958 Pete Hawley began working on a new series of ads for a major national account: he created a little cutie named 'B BELL' for the Bell Telephone System. Around the mid-60's, destiny caught up with Pete Hawley. For the next quarter century he would delight children and grownups alike with a seemingly limitless output of cute cards for AMERICAN GREETINGS. In 1964, Pete and Micky Hawley packed up their clan and moved across the country to a beautiful home on the outskirts of Sedona, Arizona. Despite the remote location (and remember, this was long before fax machines and FedEx!) Hawley maintained a busy schedule with his many clients, including RCA RECORDS. You will find many record covers with his artwork. Pete Hawley, having for years brought smiles to the faces of millions of people, young and old, died February 10, 1996. He was truly one of the greatest illustrators of our time! Thanks for visiting and reading! NO ADDITIONAL SHIPPING COSTS for MULTIPLE AD PURCHASES NO MINIMUM PURCHASE
