Howell Dodd is known for Magazine illustration, figure and genre, art teacher.

Howell Dodd was an American pinup artist and magazine illustrator who worked for years under several different pseudonyms. He is perhaps best known for his work with Valor, Police Detective, and other semi-tawdry publications in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. He is famous for often including nudity in his illustrations -- something that many of his peers tried to skirt because of censorship law.

Howell Dodd’s work is prized by many collectors because of his fluid lines, vivid colors, and obvious flair for the dramatic. His pieces represent some of the best art from the “pulps” of the time and as such have been collected ardently by his many fans. Not much is known about his private life (even his death date is contested by some who claim he’s still alive and active), but his work more than speaks for itself. It’s all on the canvas -- a world of excitement and escapism, enthralling women, rugged men, and the short dangerous lives they often lead.
