If you've ever wondered what the interstellar music duo Daft Punk does on their downtime, these 'Daft Gary' illustrations will answer your questions. Okay, so maybe these aren't 100% accurate to reality, but it's still pretty badass to see Daft Punk jamming away at a piano, cruising in cars and going out for a run with a dude who seems like an average Joe.
