(via rewbog:truthandbeautybombs:mandr:theslyestfox:mariakonstantinov) 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. 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.
