Artist dad draws on kid’s lunch bag to help him make friends
Imgur user, DomZombie, shared a creative post revealing the custom drawn lunch bags he makes for his son every day for school.
His son is in elementary school and the artist aims to help him talk to new people through the conversation started the lunch bags create.
“For the past 3 years or so, I've been drawing on my son's lunch bags when he took lunches to elementary school," the artist shared on the internet.
"Even though he has friends, he's pretty shy, so I started doing these to help break the ice and get conversations going," he said.
The father only takes one hour on each bag and the son tries to save each one for keepsake.
“We may lose one to the occasional soggy sandwich or leaky drink, but that's to be expected."
‘Any pop culture references from movies or TV that we saw will usually go directly to a lunch bag," the father explained, "We like the DC shows like Flash and Legends of Tomorrow. Star Wars was big ... with the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Rogue One."
"Occasionally, I'll do original characters or I'll illustrate private jokes between him and me," he wrote. "But mostly, kids like established characters because then he can talk about it with his friends."
The father aim has definitely succeeded in his original aim as his son is growing more confident in talking to new people.
"He's broken out of his shell because of this, and I like to think that I had a hand in helping him do this with these bags," the artist revealed.
