A few years ago (I'm gonna guess it was 2009, yikes) Michel Gondry had a deal where you'd pay him $20, send a photo of yourself and he'd draw you and mail you the finished portrait. I waited about two years for mine since, obviously, a lot of people signed up to have it done. He later upped the price to $100/per portrait and I'm pretty sure he stopped doing them altogether (which completely makes sense, who would want to offer something like this forever).

Anyway, here it is. I've always thought it was repugnant, but I was so happy to have gotten it since I'm still a big fan of his. It's actually grown on me over the years, I think. Of course I wanted to love it right away, but being 24 years old and painfully vain (at the time/still?) couldn't have helped things. I remember being way more excited at the thought of him sitting down at some desk looking at my photo and drawing me. I still think he's amazing for doing as many as he did. Man's great.
