Charon

American

Charon is an American artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

A midnight ferryman who never smiled, Charon only worked from dusk until dawn, punching copper plates into ink-stained gloves. He turned coins into ghosts and the River Styx into a wobbly line of ink, printing the same boat over and over so each rider looked freshly dead. Slide into Gallery Tiles with his *H Beard Print Collection*—a whole deck of hand-rolled ferry rides you can tap to meet the one-way passengers.
