Painting Made on iPhone Makes Cover of New Yorker



NEW YORK (1010 WINS)  -- Artist Jorge Colombo is proving that you don't actually need paint to make finger paintings--or the cover of the New Yorker.

The magazine featured his digital finger painting of a hot dog cart in Times Square on its cover this week, created on Colombo's iPhone with the Brushes application. 

Colombo has digitally painted dozens of New York City icons, including the Empire State Building and Grand Central Terminal; all done using the brushes application, available for $4.99 on iTunes for the iPhone and iPod touch. 

Colombo was born in Portugal and said that he has worked with pen and watercolor for decades, with illustrations published in magazines such as The Village Voice, Mother Jones, Playboy and even The New Yorker once before in the early 1990s.
