Roger T. Hane (1939-1974) was an illustrator of paperback books, commercial advertising campaigns, and record albums, known for his surreal, fanciful art.

During his eleven-year professional career, Hane produced over three hundred illustrations. He painted the covers of the Collier-Macmillan editions of C.S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia books, as well as such Simon & Schuster publications as Carlos Castaneda's "The Teachings of Don Juan" and "A Separate Reality". He also created artwork for Avon Books, E.P. Dutton Company, and Collier Books.

Among his many magazine clients were "Ladies Home Journal", "Life", "Esquire", "Sports Illustrated", "Fortune", "New York" magazine, "Redbook", "The Lamp", "Look", "Vista", the "Saturday Review", "Travel and Leisure", "Look", "Sylvania", "Ramparts", the "National Lampoon", and "Playboy".

Hane also contributed work to such advertising clients as Formica, Slyvania Bulbs, De Beers Diamonds, BMI, Merck Sharp & Dohme, Inc.; and he designed a number of record album covers for RCA, Columbia Records, and Philadelphia International Records.

Mr. Hane was posthumously awarded the New York Artist Guild’s Artist of the Year Award in 1974, and his work was featured in the Society of Illustrators’ 1977 publication. The Philadelphia College of Art gives an annual Roger T. Hane Memorial Award to the student with the year's top illustration portfolio.
