Cover Story: Jorge Colombo's iPad Finger Paintings: The New Yorker ""Newsstand" is the first piece I ever did on an iPad," says Jorge Colombo, about this week's cover. I started drawing on an iPhone at the beginning of 2009, and, at the time, I liked being able to work so small. I got so used to the size that the first time I used the iPad, it felt like I had a pinball machine in front of me. In time, however, I became more proficient on the tablet and started using more lines and more detail. To the point that now, it feels primitive indeed to draw on the iPhone. "I put all my recent work on a blog," he continues. These days, I only work on the tablet. The honeymoon is still not over, but I do miss the excitement of the first date. We - the medium and I - are used to each other, so it will never be as fun as when we were discovering each other. See below for slide shows of recent images by Colombo. Paintings of Vinalhaven Island, Maine, one of Colombo's favorite places in the East Coast, drawn on the iPad. "Recliners," by Colombo. Colombo paints on site at TED Talks in March 2012.
