Who is the most insane pen & ink artist alive?

[Plantweed]

while other artists can render detail after detail, the composition gets lost. wrightson's 70s frankenstein illustrations (which owe a lot to franklin booth) were insanely detailed, yet there is no question where the eye should go.

Gotta agree here. It's nice to see a balance between ornamental detail and a strong layout. A lot of artists seem to just put detail everywhere, and don't step back to think about dynamics.
