Stephen Wiltshire
Last night I saw an incredible program about an autistic artist. What made him special was that he can draw any building from memory. Exactly. Quite a skill and to prove himself he took a helicopter ride over london for 15 mins then spent the next 5 days drawing it from memory on a 4 meter long sheet of paper. Everything was to scale and in exactly the right place- experts were baffled. However whilst they were looking at his amazing talent I apreciated the art side and the attention to detail so I was inspired to have a go myself. I failed at completeing the whole building from memory but I managed to do it in sections. Heres my attempt at Big Ben which should be for the most part pretty acurate.
