Earl first studied art with elderly German painter John Stich, die ook een mentor was van de beroemde illustrator William Henry Dethlef Koerner (1878 – 1938).
Hij studeerde ook aan het Chicago Art Institute, onder Walter Bigg; en later bij de beroemde Art Students League in Manhattan in New York City onder leiding van muralisten Frank Vincent DuMond (1865 – 1951), Robert Henri (1865 – 1929), Thomas Fogarty (1873 – 1938), die ook de leraar was van Norman Rockwell en de legendarische anatoom George Bridgman (1864 – 1943).
Earls pinup girl illustration career became established back in 1931, when he moved back to Chicago and opened a small studio, specializing in photography and illustrations. He sent some of his paintings of bikini dressed young ladies to the calendar publishing companies Brown and Bigelow and Thomas D. Murphy Company who purchased the illustrations.
In 1932 Earl signed an exclusive contract with Brown and Bigelow to produce pinups for its calendars, en bij 1937 his pin-up girl illustrations hod sold millions of calendars for the company.
As Moran’s work became more and more popular he became a national celebrity and created paintings of famous celebrities, zoals Betty Grable; en in 1946 toen hij naar Hollywood verhuisde, interviewde hij een jonge starlet genaamd Norma Jeane Dougherty, die later in de komende vier jaar model stond voor hin.
Door 1955 after a move to Las Vegas, Earl transitioned his career from painting pim ups; and devoted his time to fine art painting, with nudes being his favorite theme; and signed with Aaron Brothers Galleries creating artwork for collectors until 1982, when his eyesight failed.
