British artist Stephen Wiltshire has managed to draw the manhattan skyline from memory. These were drawn after a half hour helicopter trip over the city. Stephen Wiltshire was diagnosed with autism at the age of three and he has an unusually powerful photographic memory. He can look at the subject of his drawing once and reproduce it accurately with photographic detail, down to the exact number of columns or windows on a building.

NIMBUS II: Artist Berndnaut Smilde: The clouds are generated using a smoke machine, but Smilde must carefully monitor a room's humidity and atmosphere in order to get the smoke to hang so elegantly, and with such life-like form. Backlighting is used to bring out shadows from within the cloud, to give it that look of a looming and ominous rain cloud. #Berndnaut_Smilde #Clouds

Roger Wood is a genius - please see his website -- Klockwerks: Handmade, One-of-a-kind, Whimsical Timepieces. An excerpt from a review by The Lanning Gallery (Sedona, Arizona): "There is charm in a clock whose key element is an ancient trumpet or a shoemaker's wooden form. Each painstakingly assembled piece could hold elements close to one hundred years old though their clock components are battery-operated and thoroughly modern. Wood finishes each of his one-of-a-kind pieces with a trademark feather attached to the second hand - a fanciful element in constant motion on every one of his clocks. The artist [has] a firm belief that the world can use more joy and that he can do his part to offer a counterbalance of play and wonder in a world that can often seem too serious and chaotic."
