stephen wiltshire


last night on BBC knowledge.i just have to share what i saw.
Stephen Wiltshire,British architectural artist, a SAVANT artist.
thats what makes him very special.

savant syndrome is a rare condition in which persons with developmental disorders have one or more areas of expertise, ability or brilliance that are in contrast with the individual's overall limitations {source here}

stephen wiltshire has a particular talent for drawing lifelike, accurate representations of cities.like this picture, he made it when he was 14. he only took 3 hours to finished it.
after having only observed them briefly on a plane for less then 10 minutes.
{his drawing and about}
FYI : there's a savant who has an ability to tell what day from the date,month and year that given to him.faster than the calender guy(using mathematic calculation) and the calculator itself. wow
