This is kind of like the louisville artist, Mark Anthony Mulligan, who's also autistic, and he does these really complex although more abstract drawings of places like Bardstown Road. The capacity of mentally record huge amounts of visual information is incredible. Both of these videos are inspiring.
I was floored when I saw these videos ... and I was saddened when I realized I wouldn't even be able to draw the single house across the street from memory - the one I see every day!! AWESOME.
Wow, those videos were amazing! What gets me is not only could he recollect everything from memory, but he had the patience to do it all. I would get bored with all the tedious buildings!I would love to look into his sketchbook, I bet it would be very interesting! -Ashley C.
Amazing. I would like to see more of his drawing. I wonder if he does anything but cityscapes. It would be interesting to see him draw someones portrait from memory.
I grew up in Dallas, Texas but have lived in Southern Indiana for 30 years. My BFA was completed at Texas Tech University where I studied with printmakers Lynwood Kreneck and Terry Morrow. I went to Northern Illinois University for my MFA and studied with printmaker David Driesbach. I am a professor of Fine Arts and Indiana University Southeast in New Albany, teaching printmaking, drawing and foundation level studio courses. I have also taught at the Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts in Gatlinburg, TN, worked at the Belfast Print Workshop in Northern Ireland and am a founding member of PYRO Gallery in Louisville, KY
