Stephen Wiltshire draws Tokyo from memory

In 2005, Stephen Wiltshire, an autistic British artist, toured Tokyo by foot, bus and helicopter, then drew the entire city from memory. (Like Motoki, at age three he still wasn’t talking.) You can see the entire panorama here.

I watched the YouTube video with the volume off. From the comments it sounds like the voiceover is pretty bad.
