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.

Turbo and R2 + Turbo - Day 22 - 2013


Dreamwork's "Turbo" was opening this week, the same week my son and I were going to the San Diego Comi-Con. So, to please the kids I thought I'd do a little tribute to "Turbo" - one non-Star Wars bag for the little guy, and a Star Wars/Turbo mash-up for his older brother. It was fun drawing a cartoon character, and, I'll admit, a little faster and easier. It's a really cute snail design, too.
