  • Artist Biography
    Andrew Howat; Hale, UK
    Born in Hale, Cheshire, Howat studied life drawing, anatomy and painting at Manchester School of Art.

    Andrew Howat has contributed a wide variety of work to Look and Learn. In the late 1970s, he was one of the key artists providing features on the rear cover, including the miscellaneous strip 'Strange Facts' and episodes of the 'Land of Legend' and 'Crowning Glory' series.

    After his move to London he worked at a commercial studio before linking up with fellow artists Bob Robins and Gordon Davidson to produce illustrations for magazines and books. The trio often signed their work 'RDH'.

    Howat later worked for various London advertising agencies as well as freelancing as a designer of greetings cards. He continues to design cards featuring landscapes and views of London as well as to paint landscapes in watercolour and pastel around London and Hertfordshire.
