iPhone Emerges As Procrastination Device For Artists And Designers

I know lazy when I see it, and this dude gets the Slacker Of The Year award for drawing a cover for the New Yorker on his iPhone.

My guess: he completely spaced on the project, then got an email from the magazine being all, "So, yeah...that cover...?" He's like, "OH FUCK," whips out his iPhone and draws the first thing he sees...a hot dog cart.


You design-y types probably saw this story already, but the animation is worth a look...



From a prnkstr perspective, this is a major step forward. This could revolutionize 'phoning it in' by several orders of lazy magnitude. ToneDef, how much of your job do you think you could pull off from your phone? 70-80%?

I need to get the 'alternative radio station' app for my Blackberry STAT.

Remember when 'Hello' was a question?

Do you remember? C'mon, you remember...Back in the day, when your phone was a land line that was hooked up to the wall? And it would ring, and you had NO FREAKIN IDEA who was calling you? You'd pick up the phone, say "Hello?" and then just.......wait......to see who it was.....

Man, that was crazy. I have no idea how we all lived that way for SO LONG. I called Audio Angel tonight to discuss Quiet Time, and she blew my mind by doing something that I (personally) NEVER DO.

She did something that was, frankly, reckless.

She heedlessly answered the call, WITHOUT LOOKING AT WHO WAS CALLING.

Double-u. Tee. Eff.

That's just NUTS. What if I was some freak? I mean, like a stupid freak who's annoying? She would have been stuck on the phone with me, instead of being protected by the impenetrable veil of avoidance that is voicemail.

Think about it, Prnkstrs...just think about it. Next time your mobile rings, take a moment to bask in the amazing privilege that us modern humans already take for granted:
