Artwork Evolution iPhone Update

I've finished most of the application overhaul to enable dynamic evolution and I've integrated the new user interface with Artwork Evolution's existing evolution framework. Here's the main Album and My Evolution screen shots. The Album is the collection of images a user can view and evolve. My Evolution is the active evolution area where new images are created from scratch.

Updated User Interface - Universal Image Picker

The Artwork Evolution interface is being updated to look more like the Photo app on the iPhone/iPad. The code behind the interface will work on both the iPhone and iPad in two modes. The grid mode, which is default on the iPhone and the frame mode which is default on the iPad. For the technically inclined, the grid mode can be used within a UIPopover on the iPad. The new interface will streamline browsing/evolution of online/offline collections. It should enable a unique user interface design over previous genetic art programs. Here's a demo image of the grid mode.
