    Stephen Wiltshire Draws Manhattan Skyline from Memory

    Close your eyes and picture Manhattan's skyline... if you've seen it in movies or even lived there your whole life, you probably don't have even half of the details that Stephen Wiltshire captured after a single helicopter trip over the city. That's all he needed to complete a 18 foot drawing of the city with astonishing detail. Diagnosed with autism, Stephen has a photographic memory that lets him recreate things he sees with remarkable accuracy, not missing a single building. Stephen's also created cityscapes of some of the world's biggest cities including London, Tokyo, Mardrid, Hong Kong and more. But that's not the end of this amazing artist's career; Stephen plans to focus on individual buildings now that he's done drawing Manhattan.
