Finger Painting

New York Times

NYT

The art that graces the cover of this week’s New Yorker magazine is entitled “Finger Painting.” It’s the ideal name, since the artist created it using nothing more than his finger and trusty iPhone.

Artist Jorge Colombo designed the scene of a New York City hot dog vendor using an iPhone app called Brushes, software he only started using in February. Created by developer Steve Sprang, the $4.99 program lets anyone from amateur to professional draw and paint using the iPhone as canvas.

Note: I was there first!
