Stephen Wiltshire draws Jerusalem into a masterpieceby Ziva • May 29 2008Art So we're officially on the map – or shall we say, we've officially been mapped. Jerusalem has been drawn from above by renowned British artist (and possible superhuman) Stephen Wiltshire, putting us in such company as Tokyo, New York and London. In an interview with Yediot Aharonot (Hebrew link), Wiltshire noted, "Jerusalem was the hardest city I've ever encountered to draw. There are many tiny details that are without architectural order or reason." But instead of taking it to heart, Wiltshire took our holy city's inherent sprawling madness as a "big challenge" and the results are breathtaking. During his intensive three days of drawing, Wiltshire left the municipality for scheduled visits related to advocacy and activities for autistic children. He visited schools and programs supported by Jerusalem's welfare and social services unit as well as visited a children's activity center in East Jerusalem. Wiltshire also participated in a general rehearsal of a theater group of autistic individuals – the first of its kind in Israel. Above, Stephen Wiltshire draws Jerusalem.

Awesome. Where is the final drawing at City Hall?

Apparently it was on display for journalists only. It is going to be auctioned off in the coming months by Wilthshire. He has pretty decent photos of his other panoramics on his web site, so I assume we can expect this one there soon.

Any idea where the drawing will be auctioned off at? online? real auction? I wish there were prints made, I would love to own a smaller version of that.
