It'd be nice to know who wrote comments without having to scratch my head and guess who that writer was! Whatever it is, thanks for your comments and I appreciate it! (er... i'd be surprised that u still leave comments on my blog although i dont really update my blog! :o) Thank you.

Anyway, while researching something for a drawing subject (well.. i suck at drawing.. really! but it was so awesome looking at others' works and it has renewed my interest and enthusiasm in appreciating pple's drawings!), saw that incredible and amazing artist's work.. that artist is actually an autistic savant. if you have seen the movie "Rain Man" in which dustin hoffman and tom crusie starred in or have read that book "the curious incident of the dog...", u'll know what i mean. for those who still dont know what "autistic savant" means, here is the url for definition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autistic_savant
ok back to the video, watch it below! it left me speechless and in awe of that amazing guy. i dont know how people like him can actually draw everything simply from memory within just a few hrs or even less! whats more amazing is that he is autistic. anyway there are other types of savants as well.. i cant help but be in awe of these people... genuises!!
and here is this artist's website and more info on him, look it up if u have time! http://www.stephenwiltshire.co.uk/
