This Dad Started Drawing On His Kids’ Lunch Bags 5 Years Ago And Even Obama Loved Them
Lynell Jinks, 42, is a creative dad who recently went viral after former USA President Barak Obama shared one of his realistic artworks on father's day. What kind of unique art does Lynell do you ask? Well, he draws on bags.
His kids' lunch bags, to be exact. It all started about five years ago when his son, Izaac, now 11-year-old, went on a field trip. "My wife said I should draw his name on the bag. I drew Iron Man but instead wrote Izaac Man," he said.
Lynell shared, that his daughter Zelina, 12, was quite shy at school, so he figured that he could help her out by doing some cool drawings on her bag too. "I drew Monster High on her bag as an ice breaker and conversation starter."
Now it became a tradition and his kids appreciate the realistic drawings of famous characters and the motivational messages that the dad writes on the bags and have kept all of them.
Take a look at the collection of very artistic lunch bags below and vote for the beautiful drawings you'd like to see on your lunch bag.

These are beautiful drawings, all of them. I really feel as if he captured the spirit of the Obamas in these pictures. Great job!

Oh get off your highhorse. There's nothing political about this but one of them used to be in politics. For many black people in America his presidency was the moment the black community believed truly in the American dream that you can do anything you put your mind to. Did you actually read the captions on the bags or just see Obama and start screaming propaganda?

All his drawings have been fantastic! But Harrison Ford looks a bit "off" in this drawing. Nose it too crooked and his face just looks weird.

Don't be so rude. Have you seen it?? Even if it doesn't look that much like Han (which it DOES) you should still appreciate it.

I love the notes of congratuation at the end of each school year. What an involved family these kids must have! So nice to see positive things for a change. Life has really become a downer and it's great to see this example of positive parenting.

And if you haven't seen the movie Home Alone, the white on his head is feathers from a trap the kid pulled when they were trying to break in :)

I love how the tufts of hair on Gordon's hair kind of resemble horns. The devil you say!

I don't recognize the one on the left but the right is Miranda from that absolutely horrible show Haters Back Off on Netflix. It will make you cringe.

Although the idea is cute, I find this a bit odd since they are brother and sister, and Beast Boy and Raven like eachother more than friends...

Amazing work. I love he mixes in the cartoons and movies he grew up with while incorporating current pop culture. The Father's Day Obama was phenomenal. Don't stop. Unstoppable talent.

These are amazing, and I could only imagine the time it takes to do each one.

I'm so happy that he was able to be a dad and entertain his kids by doing what he loves.

These are not used, they would be crumbled at the top, I wonder what they look like after they were used? Did they actually get used?
Connie Martin 7 years ago
Yes, the tops couldn't be folded down without ruining the image, I noticed that too. Maybe the whole deal is just a gimmick and they were never used by the kids at all.

I hope the kids also appreciate his drawings and not throw them away after the day.

These are flipping phenomenal. Some of them almost look as if they could step out of the picture. And the way he has captured the essence of the characters with their expressions is just beautiful.
