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.

Camp-Bus Trench Run 'split-bag' Mural - Day 30 - Last day of camp 2013!

 
The last day of camp!!! I've made it a habit to make the last bag of the summer as a keeper for the head counselor. It usually involves a caricature of the counselors and maybe something to do with camp life, and the camp vans. This year, since I had to do two of bags, I thought it would be fun to do this split-bag mural. The two connect to make one cool image but are still separate all-in-one comic panels when apart. I came up with the idea earlier in the day and did a couple doodles of it. I liked how the finished bags turned out. I hope the counselors liked 'em, too!
