This is the third New Yorker cover that David Hockney has drawn on an Apple handheld device. He used to use his iPhone, but he finds the iPad “especially good for luminous subjects or for things like the difference between ceramic and wood or a glass tea cup next to a ceramic mug. Anyway, it’s my sketchbook at the moment.” Hockney has been immersed in iPad projects, and is preparing a 2012 exhibit at the Royal Academy featuring about seventy iPad drawings “that show the winter slowly turning into spring,” he wrote in an e-mail. “They jump off the wall like paintings.”
