Stephen Wiltshire. This young artist is grabbing a lot of attention
by the likes of CBS and other national news outlets. Stephen has been
drawing cities since being diagnosed with autism at a young age, saying
it’s his way to express himself. What’s unique about this artist though
is that all he needs is a 20 minute helicopter ride above New York and
after 7 days, 12 pens, and a lot of music on his ipod, he finishes the
massive 18 ft accurate depiction of the city all from memory. He’s so
accurate that when drawing Rome, he drew the exact number of columns in
the Pantheon. His work is being shown at Brooklyn’s Pratt Institute
along with his permanent gallery in the Royal Opera Arcade, Pall Mal.
