Norman Orr began his artistic career in the 1960′s after designing over twelve Fillmore rock posters for Bill Graham. His designs and illustrations launched his career as a commercial graphic artist. But after fifteen years of partnering a successful graphics studio in Palo Alto, Norman decided to leave behind his office job and start his own company.
Today Norman Orr’s body of work is the culmination of many talents including graphic illustrations, fine furniture and interior architectural wood elements and exterior focal pieces.
In other words, if you can dream it, Norman can build it!
I have a poster that is of wild Russian boar hunts That is signed Norman .orr. It is about 50 years old. It is a pen and pencil art. Of a guided hunt with Pete Scardina, in the Los Padres Wilderness area of California, on cachagua road.Carmel Vally California . IT IS Magnificent. It has been hanging in my husband office for over 40 years.
Wow I was just looking up Norman orr and ran across this cause I just got the same poster and it was given to me by Pette Scardina himself, crazy
Norman was my boyfriend for a short time in 1967-68 7at Merced Junior College. I still have a few drawings he did at that time. His talent was obvious then.
My brother is Tom Salles, one of his first bands was Crystal Syphon… I’ve got 6 or 7 posters that Norman Orr designed, his artwork is very good! I’ve got several of the 8× 10s that Norman did for the Fillmore when Crystal Syphon played there with crazy horse and San paku….1968…
