Shop recommendations - Fort Lee/Richmond, VA

[wildcat 93]

I will be at Fort Lee, VA, for several weeks at the end of October for some training. I've made it a habit to get a little something when I go to new locations - souvenirs, if you will.

Can anyone recommend some shops in the area (Richmond/Fort Lee)? I'm not looking for a particular style, but a good shop atmosphere is a plus. I can usually manage to check out a shop and then make an appointment for a few days later, so a walk-in option isn't strictly necessary.

I've attached some photos of some souvenirs I have collected :)

Thanks!

Unkindness is the only shop I'm familiar with and could recommend to you there, but it's more of a neo-traditional specialized crowd.

S Stu....thank you!  I'm not usually drawn to neo-traditional as a lot of it is too cartoon-ish for me, but I absolutely love all the color and fantasy style many of their artists use. I have followed several of their Instagrams and will check them out.

There are still nothing but heavy hitters at Absolute Art, the indomitable Brian Bruno to name one.
