This has got to be the most incredible thing I have seen in recent memory. A man out of the UK named Stephen Wiltshire is an autistic artist that can draw gigantic a city scape from memory after a 45 minute helicopter ride. He is so amazingly precise that he draws each building with the correct number of windows.
Autism is still not fully understood but there is obviously some portion of the brain thats being accessed that allows for this inconceivable functionality.
The artwork itself is not the most beautiful or technically sound execution on its own merits but the fact that he can walk down a street and store it in his head and reproduce it on canvas WITH NO REFERENCE MATERIAL is absolutely astounding!
Here are some of his gallery paintings which you can order on his website.
