That is AWESOME! When I worked with Earl Washington on making those Hand carved Woodblock prints, we split the run. I got all the odd numbers and he got all the even numbers. Then fate took Earl off before we could finish our planned series of 13"Tiki Noir" prints. Only 3 of the series were made. I've run out of mine... and these are going for insanely cheap price! You have to see them in person to really see Earl's amazing work. He is the last great hand carved wood block printer... and health reasons have stopped him from making any more. Get these while you can.

Those are great prints.

I have a few different tropical prints like the one below that he signed "E.M. Washington 1939." Can you tell us anything about Washington or those works? For example, these were marketed as his grandfather's work, but I'm pretty sure they're not actually that old.
