Creating a New Yorker Cover On the iPhone

Posted by kdawson on from the eye-of-the-beholder dept.

Jaime Leifer writes "The cover of the June 1, 2009, issue of The New Yorker, entitled 'Finger Painting,' was drawn by Jorge Colombo entirely on his iPhone — a first for the magazine. Colombo, a New York-based artist and illustrator, uses the iPhone's Brushes application to vibrantly depict New York street scenes." There's a video recapitulating the creation of the piece, omitting all of the undos.

    FTA: "Before, unless I had a flashlight or a miner's hat, I could not draw in the dark."

    Apple, thank you for finally enabling us artists to draw in the dark. Only Apple could pioneer this astounding technology.
