iPhone artist creates cover of The New Yorker

It’s a good news for art lovers. Portuguese illustrator Jorge Colombo has created the art for June 1st cover of The New Yorker Magazine with iPhone app Brushes, helping the magazine make a quantum leap forward from it’s first issue released on February 17, 1925. The original finger painting for the cover is made by Colombo in about an hour standing with his iPhone outside Madame Tussuad’s Wax Museum in Times Square. Jorge uses the iPhone app Brushes to create works of art he calls iSketches, focused on the city of New York which he now sells online as limited edition prints. Though Colombo has worked for many years as a professional Illustrator, graphic designer and photographer, it’s his ultra-modern iPhone paintings that have delivered him into a period of personal renaissance. Colombo’s iPhone paintings carry a distinct impressionist style, passionately romanticizing New York City landscapes and architecture like a possessed lover. [via iPhoneSavior] Read more..
