I know how much Chris charges and what to expect regarding the amount of sessions he takes to do a full colour back piece.
I am in the dark regarding Elliott though, would appreciate it if someone could let me know regarding rates and estimate time/sessions for a full colour back piece (via private message if you want) |
If you
genuinely can't choose between two artists, and one is half a tank of petrol away and the other requires a flight (plus, what, car parking at the airport, a taxi to the studio, an overnight stay in Sunderland, etc, etc, etc) then I would always go with the nearer one. You're going to need, what, ten or twelve sessions? Based on my experience one or two of those are going to need rescheduling for reasons beyond your control, so the chances are you'll lose the cost of your flights for them too. I think by session #6 the novelty will have totally worn off....
That said, if you favour Elliott over Chris in any way then I'd say make the extra effort and go for him, because otherwise you'll always regret it!
