Hand-painted lunchbox art

Been working the past several weeks on a couple of homemade lunchbox projects -- one for "The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr." and another for "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade."

I used to collect lunchboxes but have found it's cheaper to make my own!:p

Plus, this allows me to have lunchboxes for shows, movies and personalities I enjoy, but that never got a proper lunchbox of their own.

Anyway, here's a sampling of some of the panels:

Got a bunch more I'd like to put together, maybe one for "Back to the Future."

That is cool.

I think you're really developing a feel for that style of art. They look like authentic production boxes from the '60s/'70s to me. The little vignetted portraits on the sides and all.

Gene, thanks very much -- considering your artistic talent, that's a huge compliment. I did try to emulate the feel of certain lunch boxes -- "The Rat Patrol," "Happy Days," "The A-Team" and others of the period. (I love ebay for all the photos. :)
