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.

Comic-Con ARF Trooper + Blubber Fatt 2 - Day 20 -2013

 
This day's bags were both requests. My oldest suggested a Clone Trooper buying his own action figure at Comic-Con and my youngest wanted his own Garfield "Blubber Fatt" bag like I had done for his older brother in the first week of camp. I hadn't drawn an ARF trooper this year, so I went with that. My first sketch had the trooper more in profile, asking a cute "Slave Leia" who was working the booth how much the action figure was. But, to cut down on the drawing time, I eliminated the girl idea. For Blubber Fatt, I had to make it different than the first one, so I chose this time to have Garfield lifting the helmet up so we could actually see his face. Both boys happy!
