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.

IG-88 and 3PO (The silhouette series) Lunch Bags - Summer 2014

There was a week where I did mostly these silhouette lunch bags. The object or character just needed a place that light came out of to make it effective. I found these were much quicker to do for the obvious fact that I didn't have to draw all the details. I went through a lot more black Sharpies though.

 
He's kind of intimidating, I have to say.

 I have no idea why I didn't do this 3PO bag the same night I did R2. ???
Perhaps I was just tired. Or it was the marker fumes.
