Sean Penn visits Helnwein in his L.A, studio and invites him to join in a collaboration on video project, and becomes his collector.

He said in an interview: "Well, the world is a haunted house, and Helnwein at times is our tour guide through it. A lot of it is the way he's approached life. And it doesn't take someone knowing him to know that. You take one look at the paintings and you say "this guy has been around." You can't sit in a closet - and create this. This level of work is earned."
