Residents of Chicago might want to head to Macy's at Randolph and State Street to see an oil portrait of Seth Meyers. How did a portrait of Seth Meyers come to be displayed here? Well, WBEZ Chicago asked Meyers just that, to which he replied -
"5/6 years ago I went to Chicago for a charity event. There was a giftbag that included a sitting at a portrait gallery. I was DEFINITELY the only person there who went up and did the sitting. The nicest dude on earth was running the place and took the photos. I explained to him that my goal was to get a giant oil painting of myself for my brother. He understood that I was posing ironically. I got the proofs but paying for the portrait was prohibitively expensive. I seriously considered it but it seemed wasteful to drop that kind of money for something my brother might hate."
