Today I discovered an amazing artist. His name is Stephen Wiltshire. Stephen is autistic and has an incredible memory. He has the ability to take helicopter rides (20-30 minutes) over big cities and then sketch them in detail. It really blows my mind. In his bio from his website it says, "In May 2005, following a short helicopter ride over Tokyo, he drew a stunningly detailed panoramic view of the city on a 10-meter-long canvas, from memory. Since then he has drawn Rome, Hong Kong, Frankfurt, Madrid, Dubai, Jerusalem and London on giant canvasses. The last drawing in the series was of his spiritual home, New York. He completed his masterpiece at
Pratt Institute, the world-famous college of art and design, in New York in October 2009." You need to check out his website at:http://www.stephenwiltshire.co.uk/
