Artist draws 18ft picture of New York skyline from memory
Autistic artist Stephan Wiltshire drew a spellbinding 18’ long picture of the New York skyline completely from memory, after only a 20 minute helicopter ride over the city
This astonishing 18ft drawing of the world’s most famous skyline was created by autistic artist Stephen Wiltshire after he spent just 20 minutes in a helicopter gazing at the panorama.
The unbelievably intricate picture was drawn at Brooklyn’s prestigious Pratt Institute from Stephen’s memory, with details of every building sketched in to scale.
Landmarks including the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building can be seen towering above smaller buildings after just three days in his spellbinding creation.
