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.

CLONE SAYS "ARF" - Lunch-bag - 2012


... and the foliage says "Sandwich!"
It almost like the Clone is playing "Marco-Polo."
It was Monday night and I had very little free-time available. Lunch bag needed to get done, had a hockey game to get to, 'actual' work to do... It was a busy night.
I say to my son at bedtime, "I'm drawing a Clone tonight, which one do you want?"
Son says, "ARF Trooper. The RED one." Then he runs out of the room to the action figure bag in the den and grabs me the little ARF Trooper figure. Then he goes to bed.
Short on time, I draw a cartoony ARF Trooper, using the action figure and a picture from the "CLONE WARS Character Encyclopedia" for reference. Bag gets done nice and quick! Dad goes to play hockey. Later gets some work done. All is well.
