Virginia - any artists/shops doing good Japanese

[hgiles]

I am into Neo Japanese style and wondering if there are any great Japanese artists in Virginia that I need to look at. I particular like my Japanese with a Realistic twist, but mostly open to ideas and unique, creative twists on Eastern imagery.

FWIW, I have work by Jesse Tseronis at Sakura tattoo, Dana Helmuth, Chad Koeplinger, and Brian Bruno. Is there anyone I am missing?

Andrew Conner, Ben Around (in Cville, dude is pretty good, has lots of work from Mike Dorsey), Matt Brotka (he is more known for traditional but can totally pull off Japanese in a painterly fashion), Amy Black. I am sure I am missing some.

CultExciter, thanks for the suggestions! I knew you'd have some ideas. Leaning heavily toward Tony Morrell...

Oh I mean, he's Jinx Proof. That shop is solid, just ask Karl!

I like Eric Doyle's stuff.

Tony Morrell & Andrew Conner are both very talented.Here's a few more to check out.
