[edit] Early Life and Career

Born on January 22, 1958, the youngest of four boys and raised in San Jose CA. Joe has always been a pretty quiet individual, finding art to be his passion at an early age. Trying to find an outlet and realizing San Jose would not be the place where this would happen, he traveled to various places like, New York and Los Angeles. Where he worked for a diverse client base, from book covers, toy companies, gaming, and comics, eventually settling in San Diego.

However, Chiodo has been recognized as an award-winning pin-up artist and illustrator. He combines cartoony techniques with those of classic pin-up artists, often working on a range of body types and pulp themes. He recenly illustrated the children's alphabet board book The Adventures of WonderBaby, and made a book, How To Draw And Paint Pin-Ups.

Chiodo currently works out of his home which he shares with his wife and two children.
