Enjoy the view of the Empire State with Stephen Wiltshire
Oct 28th
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.

Blackface? Really? I am all for artistic and creative expression but Black face is an insult. No and, no but, no in certain cases its a plain DON’T. French Vogue gets an automatic #Fail for this irreverent, distasteful display. Model, Lara Stone and the editors and anyone behind this 14-page-editorial should be ashamed of this….I mean seriously, who approved this??! Who said “Hey, I think this will be a great idea?”
It boggles my mind that after editorial meetings a group of people thought that this was okay! Shut The Front Door! Ugh! I can’t. I cannot. I refuse.
