Happy Memorial Day Monday, collectors!
20x200 artist, Jorge Colombo, will see one of his iPhone sketches appear on the next cover of the New Yorker! ABC News interviewed him this weekend, and the New Yorker also has a video of Jorge working and discussing his process. Jorge gives 20x200 a shout out about his four edition prints that are available right here. I suspect they will not be around much longer, so make haste!
Finger Painting by Jorge Colombo
From the New Yorker:
Colombo’s phone drawing is very much in the tradition of a certain kind of New Yorker cover, and he doesn’t see the fact that it’s a virtual finger painting as such a big deal. “Imagine twenty years ago, writing about these people who are sending these letters on their computer.” But watching the video playback has made him aware that how he draws a picture can tell a story, and he’s hoping to build suspense as he builds up layers of color and shape.
More good Jorge news--he will have a new drawing each week on newyorker.com.
