This article talks about this weeks cover of the New Yorker magazine by artist Jeorge Colombo via IPhone. Colombo used the Brushes application to draw this typical New York scene of people gathering near a street corner hot dog stand. The flaws of the technology lend itself to the painting giving it a more dreamy look rather than bitmap and technological. This application is great for designers with IPhones allowing them to have a sketch pad on them with out having to carry a spiral bound black book and pencil. This also brings a new level to design and the ability  to use technology to speed up the process through convenience. Is this always a good thing? Im sure many designers who started when there were no computers would argue not to disregard the pen and paper approach.
