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.

SAND PEOPLE (Or, Tusken Raiders) Lunch Bags - Summer 2014

I have no idea where this idea came from... it just sort of popped in there when I decided to create two different STAR WARS Sand People bags. You gotta figure, the Banthas had to start out small and kind of cute, right?  See, the Sand People aren't all bad!?!
The Tusken Raider 'sand' joke. I doodled it and I thought it was mildy funny. Well, funny enough for a 10 year-old. So, a lunch bag it became.
The sketches that led to the bag.
