“Portrait 3932-2” by Michel Gondry
Last night, my friend Joe gave me the most incredible gift—the watercolor portrait he’d commissioned months ago as part of Gondry’s DVD promotion. It’s based on this photo by Robert Andersen. And I don’t think a truer likeness of me has ever been done by a famous filmmaker.
When I saw Gondry speak at SXSW, he had with him on stage a whole book of these portraits he’d done. And a guy in the audience came up to thank him for his. Gondry knew exactly, from memory, which portrait it was in his book, and the audience sighed.
