inspiring.

i've been totally fascinated by the story of stephen wiltshire--



wiltshire is an london-based artist with autism who draws city panoramas after getting a glimpse of the location from a helicopter. what absolutely blows me away about him, though, is the fact that the details of his drawings are astounding. every single thing he captures is done from memory, and his exactness is pretty mind-blowing.

this article was especially informative--read it if you get a chance.

To kick off the "Early Show" series, on Friday, Wiltshire boarded a helicopter and flew over Manhattan for 20 minutes to capture the New York cityscape in his mind. He is now in the process of recreating that image at a renowned art school, the Pratt Institute, in Brooklyn. Wiltshire will draw the cityscape onto a 20-foot long canvas. He should be finished with the work by Friday.
