Wiltshire is selling PRINTS of his work for more than $1,000. Dude is the real deal! Most original works go for the prices he's selling his prints, which should tell you about the talent this guy has. Steven is an illustrator first and just about everything else second, but his second is still priceless as well. He captures texture and color in his colored drawings flawlessly as well.
A little background info on Stephen, courtesy of Stephen Wiltshire.co.uk:
"Stephen Wiltshire is an artist who draws and paints detailed cityscapes. He has a particular talent for drawing lifelike, accurate representations of cities, sometimes after having only observed them briefly. He was awarded an MBE for services to the art world in 2006. He studied Fine Art at City & Guilds Art College. His work is popular all over the world, and is held in a number of important collections."
Stephen was diagnosed with autism when he was three and later used drawing to help identify with the world around him. He currently has hundreds of pieces in his online gallery, as well as a host of videos and other materials about what he does. One video in particular details his amazing photographic memory capabilities. Hopefully his book "Drawings" will be back in stock soon, it's definitely something you'd want in your art book collection.
