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.

Darth Vader Split-Screen 2 - Day 15 - 2013

 
Another Darth Vader split-screen. The idea came to me while waiting for my niece's basketball game to start. One side I wanted Vader's face visible, but younger than in "Return of the Jedi" and then the other side the x-ray flash that happened when Vader tossed ol' Palpatine down that shaft in "Jedi". The x-ray bag is one of the only ones I ever redid - I made a major mistake with my giant black magic marker that I couldn't recover from. It was a difficult choice, and it kept me up really late, 'cause it was already very late at night when I started. The jokes? Well... they're okay, I suppose.
