We met Landon Webb through Julian a couple months before this. I remember meeting him at his Halloween party where he was dressed (and acting) like Andy Warhol. But it wasn't until around this time that I found out what a talented illustrator he is. We were all sitting around table 8, drinking seabreezes and hanging out late night and he was drawing away on the paper tablecloth. I eventually looked over and saw this drawing he was doing of the Brassai directly over table 8. It was amazing! Not only did it look exactly like the picture, but he had added the woman saying, "Mmmm, Seabreeze nonsense." This is a derivative of an old saying of Julians. Actually not a saying, but adding the word "Nonsense" to almost anything or to everything. I thought the drawing was awesome, so I ripped the paper off and took it home. I scanned it in along with the original T&J drawing and combined the two. I don't think it adds anything to the concept of the drawing, but it certainly adds some class and rounds out the composition quite nicely. I especially enjoyed coloring the woman's hat. The rest of the drawing colored itself in, really. It was all there already. I made the guy in the canoe a member of Pink Floyd's army in "The Wall." I also added a fish on the side of the canoe that came from some Northwestern American indian art. I was thinking his canoe looked a little plain. When we posted this one on Facebook, it got more likes and more comments than anything we had previously posted before. Landon collaborated in a bunch of drawings since this one.
