Patrick Vale’s Colossus: Timelapse Drawing of New York City Skyline

London-based artist Patrick Vale created a project titled Colossus — a pen and ink illustration of New York City skyline viewed from the Rockefeller Center. The amazing drawing captured in timelapse video below shows the towering skyscrapers and the complexity of the Big Apple.
