Artist of the Day: Stephen Wiltshire

Stephen Wiltshire, an artist with autism born in London drew this picture of the New York skyline (18 ft) entirely from memory from a 20 MINUTE helicopter ride. Absolutely unbelievable.

Barneby Gates Wallpaper

Absolutely stunning. The latest batch of Barneby Gates wallpaper makes life easier: who needs to pay for art when your wallpaper is this nice?

Though I'm a little bit depressed that I'm getting this excited about wallpaper (and am not looking to buy a home anytime soon) I definitely like the concept.

Prices range from 65-75 pounds (I wish I were joking)and are available through the Barneby Gates website

While We're on the Legos tip...

Great stop-motion animation! Some seriously heady stuff.

According to the original poster of the video on YouTube this took 1500 hours of Lego building and filming. Someone's got even more free-time than your average PhD student in London...
