Enjoy the view of the Empire State with Stephen Wiltshire
I wouldn’t be able to draw my hand if you have me 6 days, yet 35-year-old Stephen Wiltshire is able to draw the entire NYC skyline from MEMORY after only having a brief look of the sweeping landscape.
Stephen took a 20 minute helicopter ride above the city on Friday and since then he has been working on recreating the from the memory of that sight,”he has been sketching and drawing a mighty panorama of the city, rendering the city’s 305 square miles along an arc of paper that is 19 feet long.” He is working publicly in a gallery at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn.
You can watch his live-stream of Stephen here.
