Star Wars Lunch Bag: A description

Star Wars lunch bags were something I started for my eldest son when he began Summer Camp in 2009. It was something special that I could do for him each day. It also acted as an ice-breaker, a conversation piece between my son, the camp staff and the other campers. Now, I've got two boys in camp, so it's double the quota. Each night I draw up pictures, usually something "Star Wars-y" on the next day's lunch bags. It can be any thing: a ship, a character, a mash-up, or whatever ( I do take requests.) It's something fun for them to discover each morning. And, it's a reminder of me, their Dad, when they are off having fun at camp.
In years past, most of the bags were kept by the camp staff. But, so far this year, the boys have been bringing them home to keep for themselves.

Some of the bags turn out fairly decent. And others, perhaps, not as successful or artistically satisfying. But, in the end, it's all for fun - theirs... and mine.

Battle Droids Lunch Bag - 2011

Lets just say I liked the concept and my early sketch of this one, but the final artwork... is not on my favorites list. The Sharpie marker bled pretty bad on these cheapie paper bags. So, visually it was not as satisfying. And the drawing was done later in the evening... in a panic! There, there, there was a horrible fire! A flood! My car ran out of gas! I didn't have money for cab fare! It wasn't my fau-l-l-l-l-t!
Yeah, I've got caveats galore for this one. Except for the sandwich inside. The sandwich was magnificent!
