Son of a scientist, Lynch spend his childhood being constantly moved around the country He married Peggy Lynch, fathering a child aged 21. His experience of fatherhood inspired his first film: Eraserhead (1997), which took 5 years to complete.

The film was finally released through distributor Ben Barenholtz, securing a cult following. This gave Lynch the credibility to make his first mainstream film, The Elephant Man (1980). Its was met with critical acclaim.

Lynch produced another classic, Blue Velvet, in 1986. By 1990, he had won the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival for Wild at Heart, and achieved a huge cult following with his surreal TV series “Twin Peaks” (1990), which he adapted for the feature length film Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me.

Lynch likes to explore comon themes in his films, which share a dark, creepy, dream-like atmosphere which critics now term ‘lynichian’.

I hope to produce meaningful Twin Peaks collectables. This can only be effective if I can reach the show’s absolute fanatics through channels they are likely to read and trust. The Twin Peaks fansites would be a huge assett in promoting my products. Here are the main sites I have identified (although very few are still being maintained):

POEMS

A sweet and a creeping soundLike the rushing of wings was heard around;

And suddenly the lamps grew pale-

The lamps, before the Archangels seven

That burn continually in Heaven.

SHELLY

Through the darkness of future pastThe magican longs to see

One chance out between two worlds:

Fire walk with me

BOB

Catch you with my deathbag

You may think I’ve gone insane

But I promise

I will kill again

Many designers have been inspired by the imagery of Twin Peaks, and it has a rich variety of fan-art,ranging severely in quality. Popular themes amonst fan artists are the striped ‘red room’ pattern, owls, quotes, illustrated character. I would like to avoid these commonly utilised themes and be a lot more subtle with my project.

TP INSPIREDDESIGN

The music for Twin Peaks was written by Angelo Badalementi.

David Lynch wrote lyrics for 5 of the songs used in the Twin Peaks series.

Badalamenti’s compositions have been released on three soundtrack albums: Soundtrack from Twin Peaks (1990), Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (1992) and Twin Peaks Music: Season Two Music and More (2007).The soundtrack recieved high critical acclaim and is fundamental to creating the atmosphere of Twin Peaks.

David Lynch began distributing The Twin Peaks Archive, a collection of previously unreleased and unused songs on his official web site for digital download. In total, 215 songs were made available for download.

Soundtrack from Twin Peaks:

“Twin Peaks Theme”“Laura Palmer’s Theme”“Audrey’s Dance”“The Nightingale” (vocal by Julee Cruise)“Freshly Squeezed”“The Bookhouse Boys”“Into the Night” (vocal by Julee Cruise)“Night Life in Twin Peaks”“Dance of the Dream Man”“Love Theme from Twin Peaks”“Falling” (vocal by Julee Cruise)

MUSIC

For me, this project is about generating something of value. Using high quality materials and print techniques, I aim to create something that fans of the series will treasure. This will be reflected both in the content and appearence of the collectables I produce. By creating limited run prints, I can appeal to collectors and increase the value of the work.
