A Story About a Cover


The cover for this week's New Yorker has an interesting back story. Drawn by artist Jorge Colombo, the cover was composed on the artist’s iPhone, with an application called Brushes. In an article in the New York Times and an article in the New Yorker itself, the artist comments on how he enjoys the anonymity offered by the digitized canvas, as opposed to pencil and paper, when working outside.

Also at the New Yorker, a video recorded by the Brushes application shows the creation of the piece from start to finish.
