Lodge exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1933. He was also an artist with Everyman (1929–1931), The Observer (1929–1934) and the Radio Times.

The Garrick Club commissioned Lodge to draw an exterior view of the club. The result is still on display inside the Garrick.

In 1951 it was noted[by whom?] that samples of his work had been acquired by the Belfast Art Gallery, the Bank of Scotland, the Athenaeum Club, Colonel Lord Wigram and Princess Mary, the daughter of King George V.[citation needed]

Two of his oil paintings are owned by Watford Museum.[1]
