    Derek Benson's Awesome Lunch Bag Drawings: Dad's Artwork FTW!

    If we were Derek Benson's kids, we'd never buy lunch at school -- we love his hand-drawn lunch bags way too much to pass one up. The Atlanta-based dad started drawing on his kids' brown paper lunch bags in 2008, and they've become such a hit that his kids' friends and teachers have started collecting them (and he's gathered quite a following online). A video game developer with a background in graphic art, Benson finds inspiration in the TV shows and books he shares with his kids Dana, 12, Dylan, 8, and Liam, 6 -- lots of Japanese animation and other "geeky" stuff, he told Yahoo! Shine. Take a look. -- By Lylah M. Alphonse, Senior Editor, Yahoo! Shine.

      Benson says that rarely gets to keep his creations -- that's why he posts them online (at lunchbagart.tumblr.com) before his kids take them to school. "A lot of times, the teachers snag them," he admits. His youngest son's teacher has a wall of his lunch bags pinned up.
