When preparing food, one must not discount the importance of presentation. Perhaps this is the thought that has compelled the artist behind "Lunch Bag Art" to present his children with stunning, hand-drawn pieces right on their brown lunch sacks.

Unfortunately, we can not know for sure. The contents of his mind, much like the contents of the lunches he packs, are a mystery. Even his site leaves us with nothing but questions, offering up only, "A new bag each day for my kids. I'm the dad. I make these during my lunch break." What we do know is that we wish we had grown up with anime characters adorning our lunch bags and we can't wait to see what he draws tomorrow. -- Jonathan McNamara
