Is your drawRect method on an actual view? Or is it on the view controller, which is what it seems like? drawRect is something you write/override on the view itself.
You should not call release on the myImage object, since you didn't alloc it yourself.

If this isn't making 100% sense, I'd recommend you start with the iOS Cocoa Views documentation to understand how this all fits together.
