There’s a pretty awesome story that was published back in 2009 about an autistic artist named Stephen Wiltshire who spent 20 minutes in a helicopter over New York and then drew an 18 foot replica of the city.
The beauty in the details he captured is absolutely mind blowing and you can read more about it here.
Now I don’t mean to make this “all about me” again, but Stephen Wiltshire reminds me of a certain little artistic prodigy I happen to know very well…
After just ten years of living in the Seattle area she was able to sketch this replica of the city in less than 20 minutes.
Just saying.
