A belated birthday gift from my best pal, Michel Gondry
[info]moroccomole knew about this thing that I didn't. And what he knew was that if you send Michel Gondry some money and a jpeg he will paint a little watercolor version of that picture.

So MM sent Michel Gondry a picture of us from the day we got married last summer.

The wedding happened at the La Brea Tar Pits and the reception at the Farmer's Market in front of Bob's Coffee & Doughnuts. This is a picture that was snapped of us then, turned into a bizarre little painting by Mr. Gondry.

I appear to be the hulk-bodied, peanut-headed, red lady-lipped outcome of the time when the guy from "The Hills Have Eyes" put a baby into Sloth from "The Goonies." MM has had his head squeezed in a vise, stolen the cat-eyes glasses from Lynda Barry's cartoon mother and traded in his teeth for four white fangs.

In other words, I LOVE IT A LOT. LIKE A LOT A LOT. Thanks, Michel Gondry.

It almost makes up for "Be Kind Rewind"

I loved Be Kind Rewind. What he should feel ashamed of, though, is The Science Of Sleep. Srsly.

How much money does it require and how does one go about sending it?

apparently the offer has changed on his website

http://www.michelgondry.com/

at one point you could just pay like 30 bucks or something--alonso can't quite remember--and he'd do the picture of you. now you have to pay like a hundred bucks and it comes with a dvd of his videos i think

Oh I totally forgot to thank you for the art you sent me. It's perfect! I have been meaning to scan it and post it to LJ but my scanner is currently buried under a bunch of crap. :)

You can just use the pic I posted up, if you want.

And you're welcome ^_^ I have to take a break from the rest until I get those effin' 6 buck markers I ran dry on.
