Paul Booth is a legend! I was only watching his youtube channel the other day, he tells these crazy stories. :eek:

I would of thought everyone had of heard of him. Bob Tyrrell is another legend.

Best in the world at the moment? Depends on the style really. Arguably you could say Steve Butcher is the best at hyper realism, Remis for realism, but its art so depends who you are talking to and their opinion. Loads of artists come to mind like Carlos Torres, Sasha O'Kharin, Benjamin Laukis. I kind of have a huge list of realism mostly that I like. I wouldn't be too good at knowing who is the best new school or old school artist or other styles. But if anyone has any other artists to share please do let me know!

Steve Butcher. Sasha O' Kharin. Inal bersekov.
