Nina Levy (@dailynapkins) estimates that she has made over 2,000 different drawings on the napkins she packs with her children’s lunches. “I began doing napkins in the fall of 2006, drawing simple pictures in black Sharpie on napkins,” she explains. “I was just including a caring message from home and hoping to get him a little extra attention from the teachers supervising his lunch.” In the beginning, Levy’s two sons would actually use the napkins for their originally intended purpose. Now, they serve a more decorative function. "If I don't have a request, I usually try to draw something that I know they have been thinking about recently,” she says. "I am, however, often wrong about what is cool or even acceptable in the minds of seven- and 11-year-old boys.” Photo by @dailynapkins
