Stephen Wiltshire Draws 18ft Picture of NY from Memory (3 pictures)


Stephen Wiltshire is an artist who draws and paints detailed cityscapes. He has a particular talent for drawing lifelike, accurate representations of cities, sometimes after having only observed them briefly. Aged three, he was diagnosed as autistic. He had no language and lived entirely in his own world, Stephen's talent for drawing emerged as a way of expressing himself. This piece took 3 days, is 18ft long and completely amazing.

I had AP Art in HS with an autistic dude.. he had a similar talent with drawing from memory but his real talent was that he had memorized some art supply supply catalog with prices, part numbers and product descriptions… Its was AMAZING to hear this guy recite this stuff back..

Unbelievable! I've seen him on some documentaries and it's truly amazing. I can't even remember my ATM pin sometimes. :(
