Remember the good old days, when painters used to use paintbrushes, and set up their easels on location?
Well, they’re gone, thanks to the iPhone.
Artist Jorge Colombo took about an hour to finger-paint an intricate 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.
Landing a New Yorker cover is the kind of a big deal. The kind of honor that would define an entire career for many illustrators. And Jorge accomplished it with his phone.
The folks over at Gizmodo also pointed out that for quite a few weeks now, the magazine has been running full-page iPhone App Store ads on its back cover.
Art apocalypse? Or Advertising conspiracy?
See how Jorge created the cover on his phone here.
