Earl first studied art with elderly German painter John Stich, som också var mentor till den kända illustratören William Henry Dethlef Koerner (1878 – 1938).
Han studerade också vid Chicago Art Institute, under Walter Bigg; och senare på den berömda Art Students League på Manhattan i New York City under instruktion av muralisterna Frank Vincent DuMond (1865 – 1951), Robert Henri (1865 – 1929), Thomas Fogarty (1873 – 1938), som också var lärare till Norman Rockwell och den legendariske anatomen 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.
I 1932 Earl signed an exclusive contract with Brown and Bigelow to produce pinups for its calendars, och genom att 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, som Betty Grable; och i 1946 när han flyttade till Hollywood intervjuade han en ung stjärna vid namn Norma Jeane Dougherty, som senare modellerade för hin under de kommande fyra åren.
Förbi 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.
