Ben Newman iPhone case.

This is something I was very happy to see in my post office box late last night. What seems like an eternity ago, I got written permission from a favorite artist to use his painting "Engine Driver" as the artwork for my new iPhone case. I was pleased to get his permission on the one condition that I provide him a picture of the phone case. You can see the actual painting, and several other very nicely done and interesting works by him at his blog.

I want to try to get a better picture of the case for him though because due to lighting, and I think a bit due to the quality of the camera, the colors of this picture look a little weird to me. I assure you they are way more brilliant than they appear here. Head over to Ben Newman's art blog some time and check it out. You might find something you like also. Fair warning, you may find that you like some of his artwork a little too much ;)

Oh by the way, the image was put on the case by a company called casemate. Around $40 usd assuming you have it sent standard post, they ship out of Georgia. Maybe it's just me but it seemed like it too an eternity to get here, though I think it was around 8 days.

If you do decide you too would like to use any of this artist's work in any way, be respectful and ask first. He probably won't care either way, but it is always nice to be asked.
