I love Earle! There have just been two exhibitions with some of his artwork for Sleeping Beauty in Munich and seeing it in person is great.

It may well be off-topic and would be unfair to assert any direct influence in any event (although a good case could be made I suspect), but that first image by Earle of the wave brought to mind the famous Hokusai print from the Mount Fuji series. It sold recently (hence it was on my mind) for more than a few pennies over the estimate.

Thanks, peacay. I agree, and I think it's a pretty safe bet. For other readers, the print to which peacay refers is Katsushika Hokusaiâ's In the Hollow of a Wave off the Coast at Kanagwa, commonly thought of in the West as "The Wave". See my post about Hokusai, and this image in particular. I'll also take the opportunity to again recommend peacay's absolutely wonderful ~~time-sink~~,... er, I mean blog, BibliOdyssey. (See my previous posts about BibliOdyssey, both the book and the blog.)
