Stephen Wiltshire Draws NYC From Memory Read

stephenwilshire3

Stephen Wiltshire took a 20 minute ride in a helicopter looking down at the streets of New York trip above the city.  He then went on to draw the city. But this won’t be your normal drawing. Working only from the memory of that sight, he drew a mighty panorama of the city, rendering the city’s 305 square miles along an arc of paper that is 19 feet long. He worked publicly in a gallery at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. Beautiful. Visit Stephen Wiltshire’s website to view more of his work at http://www.stephenwiltshire.co.uk. Video and more images after the jump.
