Stephen Wiltshire sketches Manhattan skyline from memory

Posted on Thursday, October 29th, 2009. Filed under Art, Human achievement.

I believe art to be most transcendent during its creation.

Thanks to Wes Blackmore who blogged it earlier this week I have been enjoying live video of British artist Stephen Wiltshire who is currently hard at work sketching the Manhattan skyline as a panorama, using only his memory as reference. Stephen’s website tells the story of this project and has pictures, notes and recordings from the artist. You can also watch a live webcam of Stephen completing the work on his site, or below.
