In your opinion, who is the most underrated mask maker?
I have had some fantastic masks by many artists. Some like Justin, Terry and Nik get many threads in praise of their work and rightfully so but there are others who are often forgotten.
I think the most underrated mask maker is Silver Shampain Novelties.
I have owned several masks from them like the Durand, The Brute, The SIX and the Shanks and they are among the best I have.
Usually I have work done to improve the looks of most of my masks but with SSN they have came straight from the company looking exactly the way I want them with no need of “upgrades”. Great paintups and great masks make SSN one of my all-time favorite places to buy masks but they seldom get the praise as some of the other guys.
Tommy, he really does produce some kick ass sculpts and does not receive half of the credit that he deserves! Tommy, you are one of the best my friend.
I surfed SSN site and their masks looks amazing send him and email but never wrote me back i wanted the h8 mask signed by loree …
i think Sam HSS is very underated and his work is top notch
Ben
I agree with this statement 100%. Tommy is kicking out cool, original pieces and his paint jobs are great! He is also one of the best guys you could ever know.
Agreed 100%
Jeremy Bohr the best realistic pieces I’ve seen and yet I know a few people who have never heard of him
He is also a great Friend.
I also have a close second underatted artist and that would be Rich Krusell, his work is outstanding!!!
Agree also, though I haven’t started collecting in that area yet, Jeremy’s scupts are always awesome.
I also wish to own a piece from Erich Lubatti someday
