Aug 09, 2012 Steven Wiltshire – The artist that can draw from memory
Stephen Wiltshire is an amazingly talented artist that was born mute and diagnosed autistic at age 3. From an early age he began using art as a method of communication that eventually resulted in him gaining world wide recognition for his ability to draw insanely accurate representations of cities with a whimsical touch. Some of these drawings were even created after Steven had only seen the city for a very brief period of time.
Seriously?! I can’t even remember where I put my keys after 10 minutes, let alone an entire city line…
Anyhow, enough with the chit, chat — check out the beauties for yourself below.
