BATTLESHIP - The Lunch-Bag - 2012

The Alien ship from the Movie "Battleship" Lunch Bag - My son asked to go see the movie on Father's Day so that we could spend some Father-Son time together. Sounded good to me. We found the movie playing out in an odd theater in a shuttered-up, desolate strip-mall in North Hollywood - $1.50 admission!! He LOVED it! We had a great time! The effects were awesome! So, for day 4 of camp he requested one of the Alien ships on his lunch-bag. It was not an easy thing to draw. There were so many moving parts on the ship that every picture of it looked different. I did what I could and added the ol' sandwich joke. It being the movie "Battleship", I thought a Submarine sandwich joke was most appropriate. If you haven't seen the movie, Planet-G is the name the Earth scientists give the planet that they beam a message to in nearby solar system. The message that draws the Alien invaders to Earth, and they sank our battleships!!! Except for that really old one that saved the day!

ZOMBIE JAR-JAR - Lunch-bag - 2012

ZOMBIE JAR-JAR - It's Jar-Jar, and he's a Zombie. What an incredible flavor combination!!!
Zombies are everywhere these days, so I came up with this grotesque 8 year-old-pleasing image. He like it. The only thing he asked me was why the tongue was blue? Answer: 'Cause... he's... a... Zombie... and he's un-dead?
Answer accepted! Long live STAR WARS Zombies!

"HALO" - MASTER CHIEF - Lunch-Bag - 2012

"HALO" - MASTER CHIEF was a request from my son for the first day of camp this year. The first Non-Star Wars lunch-bag. He discovered the HALO Mega-bloks toys this past year - (LEGO knock-off blocks that do not connect, or stay together as well as 'real' LEGO. Very disappointing stuff!) Needless to say, he thinks they are cooler than his LEGO 'cause the video game is rated M for Mature. A game and game system we do not own, I might add.  I had to find images from the web to work from. The geometry of the suits are very complex. I did what I could with my Sharpie's and pencil crayons.  He liked it. 

COWERING YODA - Lunch-bag - 2012

 

COWERING YODA Lunch-bag - 2012

This Yoda bag was born out of need to draw something real fast. A quick sketch in my ideas book  and then onto this lunch-bag with the twist on a line out of "Empire Strikes Back" to finish it off.  I had to explain what the joke was to my son the next day: "See, Yoda actually says "Away with your 'weapon', I mean you no harm!" He looked at me and shrugged, "Ok." Funny to him it was not.

Darth Maul (On Red Lunchbag) - 2012

 For Day 2 of camp all I had left to work with was this left over Red loot bag. So I figured I'd attempt to draw the first 'Red' Star Wars guy I could think of. Hmmm.... Maul? I found a picture online that had plenty of dark shadows and then I started drawing it on the bag. Got out my black sharpies and my big-ass, black magic marker and started filling it in. I used a white grease pencil to get some white in the eyes and markered over that to add some yellow and a little white-out for the twinkle in his eyes. I finished it out with some silver marker for the teeth and it worked out pretty good. The eyes ended up a tad closer together than I would like, but hey, it's a a shiny red lunchbag.
And at the end of the day, they look like this:
