Last weekend, Josh Korenblatt showed me these layered “paintings” he’s been doing on his iPhone with just his fingers. This convinced me a I needed an iPhone. Then my old phone died the next day and I went and got one. I downloaded Brushes, the app that Josh uses, and now I realize that it’s going to take a lot of practice to do anything close to what he does. Here are some thumbnails of his work:

The cool thing about sketching on your iPhone, Josh pointed out, is that nobody knows you’re sketching them, and they don’t get self-conscious like when your sketchbook and pen is in full view. They think you’re just checking your Facebook page for the third time that hour or IM’ing your buddy who “works” in marketing in midtown.

Anyway, if you have Facebook, check out these painting that Josh has created with his phone.
