About Me


I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !
Here is some info on my pulp website...if you care that is.
The Pulp Gallery is a visual reference guide to the wonderful cover art of pulp and pin-up magazines. Primarily the Gallery focuses on pulp cover art from the 1920's through the 1950's and includes some magazines from beyond those date ranges. On display are thousands of magazines covers for those seeking collecting, reference or pure entertainment value.
The Pulp Gallery, as it was eventually named, originally started out in 1999 as a bunch of scans that I collected from internet sites like eBay, or just from magazines that I had personally bought or sold. Many of the really interesting and rare scans that I came across, especially those found on eBay, would disappear when the auction was over, possibly never to be seen again. I began to save them for my own reference since I quickly learned that you can't buy everything you see on eBay! I also saved scans because I noticed that there was a serious lack of books published on pulps, not to mention the lack of any real quality pulp price guide.
By early 2000 I had saved a few hundred pulp scans with a special focus on the SPICY DETECTIVE & SPICY MYSTERY pulps that had so many incredible damsel in distress covers. I was storing these cover scans at a public website called Photopoint that provided free image hosting. I shared the pulp picture galleries with a few friends who then shared them with a few more. Donations of scans from other pulp fans were collected and added to the Photopoint albums. Around this time I purchased the domain name PulpGallery.com. By the end of 2000 there were about 3000 pulp scans in the albums. In April 2000 Photopoint decided to become a pay-for-storage site and I had to move the scans, since leaving them there would be costing me a lot of money. The pics got moved to an Epson.com image storage site. I had always intended The Pulp Gallery to be FREE to visitors (and hopefully at low cost to me) in order to share pulp info and the pulp collecting hobby. Currently there are more than 8000 pulp and pin-up covers represented in the gallery. Since 1999 PulpGallery has experienced over 3.2 Million picture views on 8000 pulp & magazine covers. I've also been interviewed for an article on vintage magazine cover art in an issue of Art Business News!
Take a look on the site, you just might find something that you think is cool...
