“British artist Stephen Wiltshire is currently attempting to draw the Manhattan skyline from memory. since Monday October 26th. Wiltshire began filling in an 18 foot canvas at the Pratt institute, Brooklyn. The drawing is expected to be complete by Friday. You can follow his progress through the live webcam here.
Wiltshire diagnosed with autism at the age of three displays an unusually powerful
photographic memory that he has applied to rendering city scapes. He can look at the subject of his drawing once and reproduce it accurately with photographic detail, down to the exact number of columns or windows on a building. He memorizes their shapes, locations and the architecture.” - Design Boom (via scottnot, quelowat, gregenemy, theamazon, & maybeitsallok, amyyy:peterwknox:)Yes, he is incredible! If you get the chance, you can also come by and see him working at the Pratt Campus, Juliana Curran Terian Design Center from 10-5pm all week!
