As you know, or in case you haven’t yet heard, our good friend 3DJoes is putting together a book that collects all of the painted art of G.I. Joe from 1982 and 1983. He’s come across a piece in a recent search and thankfully, he’s shared it here with us!
“Operation Decoy” was the title for a Super-Size coloring book released in 1983. This classic piece of ARAH artwork shows members from the original line up of G.I.Joe, such has Scarlett, Breaker and Stalker, heading off to fight for freedom where ever there’s trouble!
This piece will become the last page of the aforementioned book, so you’ll have a chance to add it to your collection!
You can check out more amazing art from Mr. Earl Norem, including art for G.I.Joe, Transformers, He-Man and more by visiting the Official Earl Norem Art Facebook Page.

Holy crap that's a time consuming process you have there, but what a great resource. Thank you for creating this and the time cost of doing it.

You guys are awesome! Thanks for the support. Really, it means a lot. Please bookmark the home page and check back often for updates. I've been rolling out new content weekly, and hope to keep that pace up.
It is indeed time consuming, and a little pricey, but it's been my goal to complete the collection and then find a way to share it. I was considering a brick-n-mortar store for a while, as well as a traveling exhibit. Hell, I drug $30,000 worth of AFA/MOC figures down to JoeCon in New Orleans just to share. Then, I found the 3D photography technique and decided the web was the best way to share 'em. So again, thanks for the support and be sure to check back weekly!

I'll totally use it for reference on my customs. The BEST part is that you have them all geared up right off the bat. I'm not sure why all the other reference sites insist on striping them down naked as the first picture you see.
