FROM NEW YORK DAILY NEWS:
Filmmaker David Lynch dead at 78
The
pioneering filmmaking was known for dark and surrealistic movies like “Blue Velvet” and “Mulholland Drive,” as well as the TV show “Twin Peaks.”
FROM DAVID LYNCH:
It is with deep regret that we, his family, announce the passing of the man and the artist, David Lynch. We would appreciate some privacy at this time. There’s a big hole in the world now that he’s no longer with us. But, as he would say, “Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole.”
It’s a beautiful day with golden sunshine and blue skies all the way.
FROM MORD A STIGMATA:
There are lot of words, but none can exactly express impact of David Lynch had and has on our art.
Have a safe travel, Master.

FROM SHAXUL MANZER:
David Lynch, one of the best directors of all time, and one of my favorites, has passed away. Really sad, a genius has gone, leaving lots of masterpieces we can watch over and over again, and still be amazed and inspired...
But it's also an opportunity to question the way the media and the flow of information work these days. Some hours ago, I've read around 20 articles from the websites of major media groups (USA, France, UK), and 100% of them relied on just one little Facebook post as their source. The post doesn't even look official, even though it is, but I mean... Zero "fact-check". Not one "his family or his agency confirmed to us", you know. And 100% of people shared the news without any checking. No connection I guess, but that's what a certain Mark Z. wants to generalize. I think we should question everything, like when watching his films, even if we don't have a concrete answer. David Lynch's death is official now, but it was a very “lynchesque” situation... Because all this doesn't even seem real! Sorry, it's a weird tribute, but I don't feel like talking about his art as it's very personal and subjective in the end, and I wouldn't be up to it, so here's how I felt when I got the news... Oh well, another nonsense. Anyway, R.I.P.
FROM DURAN DURAN:
David Lynch was a creative superhero for me, from the moment I first saw his film Eraserhead as a teenager. His imagination, innovation, style and humour will remain an enormous inspiration.
Curious about the unknown and never afraid of a dark alley, he was an uncompromising, experimental artist, with a truly unique vision.
Sadly, the weather today in California is stormy and there is no lucky number.
Thank you, and goodnight David. May your dreams become evermore surreal.

FROM SCHAMMASCH:
People far and wide have tried to "understand" the works of David Lynch, and have failed to do so. At the same time they may have succeeded all the same.
The way I see it, his art, while following a certain set of momentary personal ideas & motives, has always been pervaded by & a celebration of, one specific idea; the idea that art is a gateway to embrace life & death in the whole spectrum of experience, deeply in harmony with the natural flow of all things - a way to
understand the one true thing that there is to understand - that we don't understand. That we cannot ever understand life & death. That we can only e x p e r i e n c e it.
David Lynch was not only one of the greatest artists of modern times, to me he was a symbol of solace. Hearing, or reading his words always made me feel strangely at ease with the world. Knowing that, if people like him (and of course there is, was, only one David Lynch) exist among mankind, all is not lost, no matter how many antitheses to him do walk the earth.
His art will be timeless.
Thank you for everything David & may your spirit be timeless as well.
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l- R.I.P.
