Stephen Wiltshire the British born autistic artist who draws incredible city panormas entirely from memory is currently working on New York. He started Monday this week and is due to finish tomorrow so the embedded live webcam will probably only show anything for a short time.

There’s quite a few movie links sites around now but Classic Cinema Online fills the creaky, black and white, pulpy horror movie shaped void in my life.
