I'd use something like this (typed in Mail):

[NSGraphicsContext restoreGraphicsState];
which avoids creating an NSImage.
Is this thread-safe? Or is it better to create the NSImage so I can
call
lockFocus ?
This should be thread safe (don't draw into it from multiple threads
at the same time, of course, without appropriate locking). The -
lockFocus call does nothing for thread safety per se AFAIK; it just
sets up the graphics context. If you're manipulating pixels directly,
I'd avoid NSImage as much as possible since it's caching can be
confusing.
