School Excursion

Today, the creative department of Wunderman Sydney took a short excursion across town to see the talented Stephen Wiltshire. The famous UK artist is here to promote Autism Spectrum Australia. Renowned as an autistic savant, Stephen is able to hand draw perfectly accurate architectural pictures and entire city skylines in detail from his memory.



Yesterday, Stephen went to the top of Centrepoint Tower (yes, it will always be known as Centrepoint Tower regardless of whatever naming rights are purchased on the landmark by major corporations) and took in the Sydney view. Back in Customs House at Circular Quay, he began work on his laborious sketch from his mind's eye of what he saw.

The Sydney team saw him in action and he is a talented man with an ability that beggars belief. The true art he performs lies in the photographic memorisation of architectural landscapes to such a degree that the reproduction is accurate down to the correct number of windows in a building such as Sydney Summit at Australia Square.

Autism Spectrum Australia has a live webcam of Stephen's progress on his art at http://www.viostream.com/autismspectrum/

Below is a short video of his work that we captured in case this link closes.

New Gogebagogakaganakan

Wunderman Sydney welcomes a new Wunderbub to the family.

Hakan Gogebakan, Nokia Account Manager, and his wife have had their first child, Daylan. The baby Turk came into the world a little early but mum and the little man are both doing fine. When we say "little man", we mean both baby and father.



Says Hakan, "We are totally blessed to have Dalyan in our lives – words can’t explain the feeling. Time for me to spend some quality time bonding with my lil’ superman.

"Will share some more photo’s in the coming weeks."

Congrats Haks.
