Mom Draws Geeky Artwork on Her Children’s Lunch Bags Every Day
For about a year, Christy Kilgore has been decorating her children’s lunch bags with fun and often matching pieces of pop culture artwork. The Illinois mom, who has a background as an artist and graphic designer, has chronicled her work on her Instagram. Apparently she only uses normal colored pencils, sharpies, and Crayola markers, but the pieces have grown more detailed and elaborate over the months. And they don't just look good. There are some really humorous gags she put into some of them. The one thing I didn’t see on her feed, though, was pictures of the actual food that is going into the bags. I doubt a mom this crafty would just be throwing in a Lunchables after all the work she did on the bag. That would be funny/sad is these masterpieces were just the wrappers for some crappy hors d'oeuvres (Again, I highly doubt that is the case). Another thing I wonder about is whether or not the kids have to bring those bags home after school. Or perhaps they're like sand mandalas and sending them out in the hands of school-aged children is Kilgore's way of ritualistically destroying her own work. *Bows* I have so much to learn.
