Comic book legend Jim Lee, was getting his hair cut yesterday and decided to try out Sketchbook Pro on his iPad while he waited. He posted his in-progress concept sketches of Wonder Woman as he went, and as you can see (if you have talent) the iPad is a viable sketching tool.

David DeVore has turned 'David After Dentist,' the YouTube hit, into a business

A guy selling a product needs to dress the part, which is why David DeVore's uniform is a black collared shirt emblazoned with a zippy patch of his son's face and the phrase that made the younger David famous: "Is this real life?" The question is followed by a trademark symbol.

"I'm the dad who posted 'David After Dentist,' " DeVore says to an amiable trio of 20-somethings at a book party in McLean. "You know, the little loopy kid in the back seat of the car?"

Fifteen months ago, before the success of "David After Dentist," DeVore's business was Orlando real estate.

Now his business is his son, David. His six-figure business.

On DavidAfterDentist.com, visitors can buy T-shirts ($20) and stickers ($5). They can watch the parodies, which include Darth Vader imitating David, and a Super Bowl commercial starring Beyoncé and David, promoting consumer electronics company Vizio.

All in all, with the licensing deals, the T-shirts and a YouTube ad partnership, the DeVores have amassed "in the low six figures," DeVore says. "More than $100,000." (This works out, by the way, to approximately $840 per second for the less-than-two-minute video). Around $6,000 of that has gone to the children's charity Operation Smile.

"We're all in," DeVore says cheerfully, of the business of David. "We've decided to embrace it."

Create an Instant Snack Bowl from any Snack Bag

Sure, snack bowls are nice if you have guests over, but who needs one just to eat some pretzels in front of the TV? Instead, roll the bottom of the bag into a bowl for easy access. This trick is so simple you'll wonder why you didn't think of it before—all you need to do is invert the bottom of the bag, rolling it up into itself. The bag will sit easily on the table without falling over. What's even better is you no longer have to deal with the sadness of looking into the bag and seeing the unfortunate results of settling—just roll the bottom high enough, and you can do away with the digging phase of chip eating. It's especially nice if you have more than one person eating out of the bag, too—no more reaching a foot into the bag while someone else's arm is already in there.There's no excuse to eat out of the bag the way you used to anymore—it's that easy.

I love Norman Rockwell...

Norman Rockwell: The Original King of the Photoshop

Back when Norman Rockwell ruled Saturday evenings, Adobe wasn't even a gleam in some nerd's eye, but a new book shows that the painter was, nevertheless, a photoshop expert.

Very few Gizmodo readers were even born when Rockwell painted his last Saturday Evening Post cover, but we all know them. You hear that name and suddenly you can picture those overly detailed, cartoonishly dramatic but ultimately kinda corny depictions of American life. Well, Norman Rockwell: Behind the Camera, written and compiled by Ron Schick, has given me immense newfound respect for the man, for the meticulous photography, the real people and the unintentionally hilarious DIY props and sets that he required to make his painted fantasies of Americana come true.
