This is the only one we did in pencil. There are usually a lot of pencils around since Lloyd likes to do the crossword puzzle with them. In fact, he usually yells at me when he sees me doing the puzzle in pen. We have plenty of white out, so what's the big deal? Anyway, I don't know how this one got started but it looks like we're at the Loup bar again with some of our more bizarre customers. The title for this one doesn't really make sense until you see the full color version, but the story goes something like this: Ociel is the nickname for a guy we work with. He is very small and very unusual. He hasn't mastered the english language yet, and so he has some interesting names for things and a unique way of speaking. After work he likes to drink Seabreezes like a lot of the employees at the Loup. The reason is the fresh squeezed grapefruits we use to make the drink with; they make it so delicious! Ociel to this day cannot pronounce the word "breeze" so he has turned it into "weed" so the seabreeze is now know as the Seaweed at 105 W. 13th St. On this occasion, Ociel had picked out the perfect grapefruit to use in his Seaweed and gave it to Tim, who put a sticker on it asking me to save it specifically for Ociel. The sticker found it's way onto the back of the picture above, and I integrated it into the color version. Hence the name.
