Howie Noel, who goes by @dicktracyroguegallery on social media , was always a hidden gem of an artist with his hallmark retro/caricature style and vintage, film noir aesthetic—until he effectively went viral, thanks to Superman director James Gunn—who discovered his work. While the scope of his art is vast, the name of his Instagram account is a tribute to his late father. Noel was always enamored with this iconic sleuth, sketching him when he was a child and bonding with his dad while reading the weekly Dick Tracey newspaper strip with him.
