The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
At the time of this writing, children are only interested in three things… Star Wars, dinosaurs, and lunch. Brooklyn-based artist Nina Levy knows this, and creates Lunch Napkin Illustrations of Star Wars Characters Riding Dinosaurs.
Included in the school lunches of her 12 and 8-yr-old, the kids are treated daily to Han Solo on a Stegosaurus, Darth Vader atop an Indominus Rex, or Chewie on a Suchomimus. Hopefully the kids aren’t too messy.

There are few things that can help make a brown bag lunch the coolest part of a kid’s day. Awesome napkin illustrations of cats and robots appear to be one of those things.
After some time illustrating random pop culture characters and inspirational messages on her sons’ lunch napkins, Mom/artist Nina Levy has refocused her attention on internet-famous cats and robots.
Baymax and Grumpy Cat, R2-D2 and Limecat are just a few of these unusual duos that help make lunch awesomer. See more below.
If you’d like to lighten up a dinner party, or simply want to draw attention to your crotch (more so), there’s Lapkins.
Designed to look like underwear, Lapkins should help protect your lap area and lighten the mood. Or, you could just keep showing up to the dinner table in your underwear and save on the napkins. Either way.

We’ve found another set of parents cooler than yours… The Kirbys create awesome illustrations on napkins, that they include in their two sons’ lunchboxes. And, not only are the cartoons very well executed, they’re extremely prolific, as two new napkins are created every day.

Remember those inspirational notes that Mom used to include in your lunchbox? Oh good, me neither. But a few kids named Archer and Ansel will surely remember theirs — because their notes are hand-drawn on napkins by their artist Mom, Nina Levy.
The best part… Nina takes requests. So, anything that the kids could dream up in their little heads, would appear in their lunchbox. Robin sitting on a Komodo dragon? Done. A Tyrannosaurus Rex and Tree Rex from Skylanders? No problem.
