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.

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!
