Michael Glenwood or Michael Gibbs? Before working digitally, Michael painted traditionally. When he made the transition to digital, he began using his middle name (Glenwood), reserving his surname (Gibbs) for the painting style for which he was known at the time. For several years he has worked only digitally. His stock images feature both his more recent digital work and his earlier painted work. (MORE...)
