Can you help me ID the carver and are they a member here?

I bought these three cork decoys from a carver in NJ around 2007-2008. The purchase was made through eBay at a time I was living outside of Seattle, WA. I enjoyed being away, but longed to be connected to the east coast where I was raised. Anyway, I liked the style and was only starting a very meager collection of cork ducks from current carvers.

Here are the three that I picked up from the same carver. A pintail drake, wood duck drake and a Brant. From what I can read of the signature, the name is Robin Oliver or something close to it. Thanks for any help.

I am thinking about hunting over these and a couple of cork LLBean ducks that I have next season.

Googled him up and he won third among mallards at the 2008 Lem and Steve Ward competition. It is on a PDF file from the wardmuseum.org. Maybe you can contact them.

All I could find. Hope it can help somehow.
 
John- thanks for finding that. I really wasn't sure if the name was Robin Oliver. After reading that list and doing a little more of a search, it appears he is still carving and doesn't live too far from me. That is pretty neat.
