Currently Featured at Little House Galleries, Menlo Park
Michael Charlow is a digital artist working on the Peninsula. He is a graduate of the University of Oregon School of Allied Arts and Architecture. His credits include artwork for the album "Drowning in Neon" by the group Agent 126, and his self-published children's book Akazukin, a Japanese version of Little Red Riding Hood.
While not completely identical to the Brothers Grimm version, you will no doubt recognize the classic tale. Michael translated and adapted the story for Japanese audiences with a contemporary graphic interpretation in the style of "manga". Manga is the Japanese term for "comics" and in Japan these manga are taken more seriously than illustrated novels are in the United States. They typically span more genres, media, and are often aimed at specific genders and age groups. See Michael's artwork
