In honor of the mindblowingly cool move The New Yorker made this week by running one of Jorge Colombo's awesome iPhone paintings on this week's cover, I decided to delve back into the Brushes app, which Jorge used to paint his cover illustration.

One of the coolest features of Brushes is the ability to download ".brushes" files from your iPhone via wifi and load them into the companion Brushes viewer program on the Mac. The .brushes file isn't just a flat image, it's a data 'recording' of all the strokes you made AND it's resolution independent, so you can render the image out at up to 6x the iphone's 480x320 resolution. And you can render out movies of your painting coming to life.

Jorge now has a regular weekly spot on The New Yorker's website to post his Brushes movies. Pretty damn cool...

So here's a movie of a painting I did of some bearded dude (sorta 300 Leonidas I suppose)..Enjoy!
