Stephen Wiltshire was diagnosed with autism at an early age, and he has learned to turn art into his means of communication. He creates meticulously detailed images of urban landscapes just from memory, complex scenes that any of us would be hard pressed to do even with a photograph. The aerial views come from helicopter trips he has taken over New York City. Holy crap. POH to this guy. [Stephen Wiltshire via Cool Crack]
