British artist Stephen Wiltshire is currently attempting to draw the Manhattan skyline from memory. Since October 26th Wiltshire has been 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 cityscapes. 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. DesignBoom
