Star Wars Lunch Bag: A description

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.

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.
