Oh. My. Gawd.

This guy is blowing my mind – and the minds of people all over the world.  I recently saw a documentary on his work and himself on tv, but this video just captured the incredible nature of his crazy-awesome talent.  What a way to see our world!

Stephen Wiltshire was born and raised in the UK, he was diagnosed with autism at age three.  Soon his talent and interest for drawing came to be evident, specifically his desire to draw cityscapes.  Now, Stephen has gained notariety for his uncanny ability to draw stunningly detailed panoramic views of cities after only brief rides in a helicopter over the city.

The drawing shown in the photo is a work he completed for the Pratt Institute of the New York City skyline.  He completed this work after only 20 minutes above the city.
