Hasta La Gadget!

Think you’re artistic? Try finger painting a magazine cover with your iPhone. Standing outside Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum in Times Square, illustrator Jorge Colombo dabbed this week’s cover of The New Yorker with an iPhone app called Brushes. Its companion app Brushes Viewer captures every step of how Colombo composed the picture. (See video above.)

We love this stuff. In February, Wired.com compiled a gallery of illustrations made with the iPhone and iPod Touch. Check that out and submit your iPhone art to our Reddit widget.
