Painter? I have three of his prints, but did he paint anything?

Yes - the wood blocks used to create the prints were cut through original paintings or drawings.

Brilliant documentary Andy!

Also a display of his work is on at the British Museum right now - it's absolutely stunning, although it's now sold out:
