The New Yorker Embraces Modern Technology

“Jorge Colombo drew this week’s cover using Brushes, an application for the iPhone, while standing for an hour outside Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum in Times Square.” [New Yorker]

Brushes has a companion app called Brushes Viewer that records the creation of a drawing from start to finish, and we’ve posted the video of Colombo creating his cover art below.

    cute and all, but i wouldn't be telling a magazine that probably pays in the $5-10K range for a cover how little time and effort it took. I bet David Remnick has himself an iPhone, too!
