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.

EMPEROR'S NEW SANDWICH - Lunch-bag - 2012




Also known as... SANDWICHUS-INTERUPTUS.
An evil Emperor has got to eat too, you know! I had a doodle in my idea book of something very much like this. I thought it was a neat image to have a hand holding one of those hologram thingy's with the hologram doing something funny or interesting. Kind of graphic. Kind of fun. Of course, when I went to draw the little hologram gizmo, I couldn't find a picture of one. I looked online, but I wasn't exactly sure what they call the thing - a Holo-projector? You'll get lots of image of R2-D2 projecting things. I looked through my son's STAR WARS magazines and books that are nearby and found nothing where you could actually see the thing. So I gave up and just drew it like it is seen on the bag. What'cha gonna do? You still get the idea. Later on I thought it might have been interesting to have made the hand an alien hand instead of a Clone's. This one still made my son laugh.
