June 1st New Yorker Cover Drawn Entirely on the iPhone [IPhone]
Gizmodo — Artist Jorge Colombo took about an hour to fingerpaint this entire Times Square scene on his iPhone using Brushes, a $4.99 iPhone drawing app. Now, it's the June 1st cover for The New Yorker.

iPhone Artist Makes Cover of The New Yorker
iPhone Savior — NEW YORK - Portuguese illustrator Jorge Colombo, has graced the June 1st cover of The New Yorker Magazine with art he produced entirely on his iPhone. The original finger painting Colombo created in about an hour standing outside Madame Tussuad's’s Wax Museum in Times Square, has helped the magazine make a quantum leap forward from it's first issue released on February 17, 1925. Colombo's work brings fresh cultural relevance to a tired relic desperately in need of reinventing itself. Jorge uses the iPhone app Brushes to create works of art he calls iSketches, focused on the city of New York ...
