Stephen Wiltshire was mute when he was diagnosed with severe autism at the age of three. He began communicating through his drawings after being sent to Queensmill School in London, and with the support of his special-needs teachers, gradually learned to speak.
It was during those school years that they discovered Stephen’s special talent, when he drew the ornate Albert Hall following a class field trip — without the aid of a photograph. Wiltshire has the uncanny ability to draw and paint detailed landscapes and cityscapes entirely from memory.
Wiltshire 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. He memorizes their shapes, locations and the architectural flourishes, and will do so with New York City after a brief helicopter ride.
Having tackled the iconic cities of Tokyo, Rome, Hong Kong, Frankfurt, Madrid, Dubai, Jerusalem and London, Wiltshire is more than ready to take on The Big Apple and has already begun drawing the cityscape in pen.
His Artwork is more than inspiring it screams numbers into the abilities that these geniuses hold inside, Absolutley Amazing. AGK

The end of the season is upon us here in Canada. When sun and warm weather turns into grey skies, rain (then eventually snow) and 5PM sunsets. The time when skateboarders bunker down in the security of underground parking lots to perfect their flatland. If you are lucky enough to find an underground where you don’t get kicked out, you might just be able to enjoy a flat bar. In the meantime, let’s just remember the good times from summer. A ledge was built, skated, skated some more, and then abandoned. We will return to it when the snow has left us for more hospitable conditions. Here is Trev pullin a Fakie Back Tail, FS 270 out. That’s a mouth full! AGK

This is the first batch of the AGK line. For Kings by Kings. All shirts come with a AGK graphic on the back and our own personal tags on the inside. Every shirt that we do the colorways will be the only ones we are doing. Which makes every piece limited edition. So this graphic here with the teal layer will never ever be duplicated again. So limited quantities of everything, run to Antigravity skate shop and grab some before thier all gone. AGK
