The intrepid Jorge Colombo, ever willing-to-stand-in-the-cold-with-iPhone-and-fingerless-gloves, is back this week with his fourth New Yorker cover featuring a passerby with her dog in front of Chelsea's oft-documented Empire Diner.

March 22, 2010 cover of The New Yorker by Jorge Colombo

Previously painted by Harry McCormick in 1970, Ralph Goings in 1992, and John Baeder in 1999, (and many others before and since then), Colombo adds his depiction of this classic Fodero Dining Car, originally built in 1946 to the treasure chest of interpretations.

The New Yorker's online video series Finger Painting shows the cover-in-progress, starting with the framework of the surrounding buildings through the final touches of the woman in the foreground trotting by with her four-legged friend. Each week, Finger Painting shows one of Jorge's from commencement to completion, so you can see him craft a Window View, Construction Site, Corner Cafe or Taqueria with the touch of his hands. Keep your eye on that space for Jorge's latest whereabouts, and your eyes on this space, for more Jorge coming to you soon.
