Well, what do you know? It looks like our favorite fingerpainter is really making a name for himself with his handset artwork. Like his other New York City-scapes, Jorge Colombo's cover for the June 1, 2009 issue of The New Yorker was composed entirely in the Brushes iPhone app. And it looks like the artist's switch to a digital format is no gimmick -- he tells The New York Times that the device allows him to work "without having to carry all my pens and brushes and notepads with me." And he can work in anonymity -- to complete the cover he spent about an hour on 42nd Street, with no interruptions (try doing that with a canvas, an easel, and a full compliment of art supplies). Mr. Colombo, if you're out there: we'd like to add you to our Mafia Wars family. Drop us an email.
Pretty cool picture. Does anyone know which app is the best for improving the quality of my iPhone pics? I read that the stock camera is not optimized.
We joined the bandwagon and created the first bathroom journal application called poop the world.

Does anyone actually give a fuck? I mean, why don't you just report on every other mediocre little event world-wide.
The iPhone sucks. If this shitty little picture had been done with crayons, would anyone care?
People WOULD care if it had been done with iCrayons™ (they look awsome, but only work on iPaper™)
btw, 7:38AM?? bit early for you :-)
