Reflecting on David Lynch

David Lynch has died today. That feels like such a strange sentence to write. It is unreal to read. David Lynch has been such a constant presence in my mind, and such a large influence on how I view and experience art and film that it is difficult to accept the fact he is no longer with us. Both his films and his work on Twin Peaks are things that I'll appreciate for the rest of my life.

Screen grab from David Lynch's Dune. A Mid closeup shot of David Lynch's cameo appearance as the captain of a Spice Crawler. He is lit in half light and half shadow speaking into a microphone. Goggles on his head.

He lived the "art life" fully and with his whole self. He was a true American original, and god damn he was funny. I am confident there will never be another David Lynch.
