My artist is Dan Paone, he's really good too, as is Desmond... but Kevin is spectacular, especially if you want something realistic. |
These are exactly the recommendations I was going to make.
I've met Kevin many times and the White Lotus guys. They're always at our local conventions (Allentown/Philly) and Kevin guest spots at shops up my way a lot. He's a chill, down-to-earth guy as well... not at all a "rockstar", though he would have every right to be.
There are a lot of good artists in the tri-state area but if you say Jersey these guys definitely come to mind first.
...and I'm in the biz, so I kinda know what I'm talking about a little. My mentor has been getting work from Kevin for years and even got some mentorship from him as well. Then when I was apprenticing he brought me along for a couple sittings so I could watch and talk to him. He's awesome. And he wouldn't work with anyone who wasn't up to par as well.
