As I continue archiving all sorts of details related to David Lynch’s works, I came across an interview with the late artist from “Buzz Magazine.” Launched in fall 1990, this glossy magazine was once considered the “best journal yet on the local scene” in Los Angeles, California. This interview is one of several I scanned…
Unlike Special Agent Dale Cooper’s rock throwing, I use facts and little details when investigating the origin of postcards in my collection. Take this Snoqualmie Falls postcard published by Impact – #18518. The image of the majestic waterfall was taken by a talented husband and wife team based in Washington state. The card’s back contains…

There are times in Twin Peaks where the real world crosses into the fictional world created by Mark Frost and David Lynch. This is best seen in the various props and set decorations that fill the the wonderful and strange town. One of my favorite things to identify are newspapers and magazines as they help determine when…
I love finding artifacts from the earliest days of when Twin Peaks was first broadcast in the United States. Recently, I acquired at auction a rather well-preserved copy of The Philadelphia Inquirer’s “TV Week” from May 6-12, 1990. This television viewing guide featured a previously discussed publicity photo of Josie Packard (Joan Chen) and Sheriff Harry S….
During my early research into the production of Twin Peaks: The Return, I quickly learned the crew occasionally used stock video assets for various establishing shots.
