New Yorker Cover Art, Painted With An iPhone

Stephanie Clifford in yesterday's New York Times:

"Some people send text with their iPhones, and some play games. The artist Jorge Colombo created this week’s cover for The New Yorker with his.

"Mr. Colombo drew the June 1 cover scene, of a late-night gathering around a 42nd Street hot dog stand, entirely with the iPhone application Brushes."

Irony?

It WOULD be irony if contained in a thought-bubble above a charicature of Rush Limbaugh or Michael Savage. Instead, it serves as catnip for those who already think the Obamas are Manchurian Candidates
