He is a great guy as well as his lovely wife is a great lady.

Earl should also be recognized for his lifelike illustrations in the "mens action" magazines of the 1950's through 1970's.

Take a look- I have a couple pencils scanned in my art gallery here:

Let me know what you think and Good luck with the site..I'll call Earl and fill him in..
Best,

Thanks for coming in Ray and showing us your original Norem work.
Needless to say we are big fans of his work over here due to his vast amount of Masters of the Universe work and there's a few Conan fans here too. He's been a big influence some of us artist types too. I know he is for me.
We plan on having his gallerly catagorized and it will surely feature his mens adventure magazine work so no worries there.
Would it be possible to hit you up for some content?
A few of us here on on the case but it sounds like you could help us out big time if you'd be willing to that is?
Could you email me at [email protected] and maybe we could discuss this further?


To the rest of you, I think it would be cool if we could get some quotes from other artists about Earl Norem?
Emiliano could do one but if Mr.JVS3 could help out on getting quotes from artist he knows are Norem fans....?

Earl Norem is awesome. I have been a fan of his art for many years. He has done so much art for stuff that I am into. It's cool to see you guys putting together something like this for the man. He's even the one responsible for my Wendigo avatar.

Glad you could make it Ray.

And Wendigo, that cover that your avatar is made from, is actually going to be in the gallery! It was in the first batch that I sent to Pig Boy.

Just throwing out a big THANK YOU! to those on this... I'm looking forward to this site... Obviously I'm a big fan of Norem's work.

Oh this is great!
I cant wait to see the site in all its glory! Love Norem's work!

Here are a few Scans of the original Earl Norem pieces I own. Maybe you have seen the printed versions?

Hope you like..Ray

OH MY!!!!

Those are beautiful!!!...

sweet lord! I didnt think when i posted it would turn into this!!! this is amazing you guys! I forgot i even posted this ... the entrance to the sight is HEART-STOPPINGLY cool .... and you're all working together to submit pictures .... and I am sure this will help raise awarness of how AWESOME Norem's art is.....

.org hosting the site! val contacting norem! I've created a monster! .... i am seriously stunned.....

My heart is racing im so happy ... ill send in everything i have ... which is a bit ... as when i posted it was fed up with either not finding anything or it being watermarked .... no posters for my walls .... and it was DAYS of searching before i posted ..... wow .... just ... wow ....

Great stuff johnnylray!! This stuff will be great for the site.

How are you getting on with that website BCI Guy recommended Predatbot?

Great stuff, Ray! I can't believe suck sketches and colour-prelims are still around to be found??

The site is gonna need a new section. In my own mind, there's already like 4 sections of the gallery. How many do you envision Pig Boy?

And yeah, I'm ready to send another batch of stuff Pig Boy, a mix of covers and pre-publication stuff from that site BCI Guy posted.

EDIT: EEEEAAAAAMOOOON!!! You shady Ginger, you...! Clear your in-box immediately! I've overloaded it...

Red dude! Red! Ginger People have no eyebrows and turn pink when they get angry! I do not!
I tend I hit folks very hard who call me ginger!!

Mailbox should be able to take more now so fire away dude!

So far we got 44 pieces. Most of which is Marvel stuff so we need .org member to pull their fingers out and get scanning their MOTU and Conan comic covers!! Come on lads!!!

Maybe Val could put a notice up on the front page requesting people's help?
I dunno if that's feasable.

As for sections in the gallery, I'm thinking Marvel, Men's Adventure, Conan, MOTU (inc that on wicked She-Ra he did if we can find good scan of it) and Miscellaneous.
Suggestions are welcome if anybody has got em!

I should have a mock of a basic page layout late tonight.

Enjoy!

{ducks}

Guess I should have used the Aussie nick-name, used in a naughty manor for red-headed people instead. 'Blue'.

Not yet it's not. It's still saying that your inbox is overloaded? Btw, isn't the majority of the covers I've sent Conan-covers..? It certainly feels like it. I think Norem has done several hundred of those! XD

EDIT: I give up. Just use these darn links...

I've designed a few websites but it's not something I do too often.
See my signature to see what I do professionally.

Thanks! Gotta have something that compliments his art ya see!

Hi Guys,
by the way- when you click on the links of the images I have done by Mr. Norem, feel free to look around there in my Photobucket gallery...I would believe I have about 40 other Mens actions paintings there done by Earl..

Enjoy!

Just waiting for BCI Guy and JVS3's comments then I'll blaze into the galleries.

this site looks amazing ... i cant wait for it to be public accessable!

any way we could get a history of the man? ... when/how he started. A life story sort of thing?

Hmm... don't you think the section-buttons looks a bit on the big side, Pig Boy? I think I get the feeling you're going for, but I still think they could be perhaps 15-20% smaller.

I must applaud you on chosing the Silver Surfer, from the cover to the Ultimate Cosmic Experience, as a banner tho.
