"Pika-Churros" My son wanted Pikachu. He hasn't watched Pokemon in years, but I remember liking it when it first came out. #Pokemon #LunchBagArt #coloredpencils on #brownpaperbag #brownbagart #snackbag #disposableArt #markers #sketch #illustration #lunch #Pikachu

Three years ago, Dominick started drawing on his son's lunch bags to help im make new friends, because he was quite shy.

These works of art were nothing short of amazing, and have garnered quite a bit of attention online.

 

"Gunter Goulash" We saw 'Sing' last week while still on winter break. This is a tribute to the funniest character in the movie. #sassy! #LunchBagArt #Gunter #sing #illumination #art #illustration #sketch #instaart #artistsoninstagram #disposableart #brownpaperbag #brownbagart #drawing #pig

Dominick felt that the cool lunch bags would give Nicholas an ice-breaker, so he started covering them with fun characters like Batman and Nemo.

Nicholas is now in middle school, and still really enjoys his artistic lunches, as they have helped him gain confidence.

"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" Dominick shared with his Imgur followers.

He also explained that each of the lunch bags "takes around an hour to complete" but they are a "true labour of love". 

 

"Obama Jambalaya" Thanks, Obama! (#noSarcasm) On today's lunch bag, I wanted to observe the end of an era as an important change of power will happen here in the US. No matter what you think about his policies, President Obama has been the coolest President ever. Someone who, our family felt, represented what a president should be. Add the equally awesome @MichelleObama44 and you got yourself the ultimate first family. We'll miss them terribly. #LunchBagArt #barackobama #USpresident #art #illustration #sketch #instaart #artistsoninstagram #disposableart #caricature #brownpaperbag #brownbagart #drawing #history

Since 2014, the amazing father has created 400 bags for his son… AMAZING.
