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.

Angry Bird Luke + Garfield Luke - Day 2, 2013

 
Angry Bird Luke - The kids dig Angry Birds. They have every incarnation of the game. So when it was time to figure out what to do for my youngest son,  and I had no ideas off the top of my head I looked around the room. I happen to have just bought the book about the creation of Angry Birds. Inside was an Angry Bird Star Wars section. A little doodling later, a lunchbag was born.

 My oldest has really gotten into the old Garfield comic strips this year. He finds them hilarious, just as I shamefully found them funny at his age. Thanks, Jim Davis! So, he asked me to do something with Garfield and I mixed it with Star Wars, and thus, this Luke/Obi-Wan lunchbag came into being. I tried my best to match the wit and style of humor of the Garfield comics. I think I succeeded.
