Modern technology has helped me identify props used in David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks for years. I can’t imagine finding things as easily in the early 1990s when all I had were VHS cassettes and no access to the internet. Despite the technical marvels of today, I still rely on what’s available online…
As a great admirer of Twin Peaks’ rich set decoration, I have a special fondness for the promotional photos in which the cast is posed on set. These shots sometimes uncover background details that aren’t visible in the show itself.
As part of this year’s “Peaksmas,” Dugpa and I are diving into stories about Twin Peaks in Japan. One of the more notable creations from the “Land of the Rising Sun” is the 1993 Georgia Coffee commercials with characters from David Lynch and Mark Frost’s wonderful and strange show. Dugpa covered the numerous coffee can…
In Twin Peaks’ third season, Sonny Jim Jones has an affinity for the wild west. From the wallpaper to the curtains to the toys beside his bed, desert plains make up the aesthetic of his bedroom. As the 2017 Showtime revival tended to be a bit more sparsely decorated than the original series, I loved…
During the first two seasons of Twin Peaks, a stone sundial is seen outside the Twin Peaks Sheriff’s Department. This monument paid tribute to an early resident of Snoqualmie Valley who was a beloved and respected mill manager.
I’m returning to something I love while researching Twin Peaks – identifying artwork used on the various sets created for the show. This time, I’m visiting the room at One-Eyed Jacks in episode #2.002 (#9) where Audrey Horne confronts Emory Battis. In the background, you’ll spot artwork by German-born artist Max Gundlach.
Books are some of my favorite things to identify in Twin Peaks as they are a bridge between the real world and the fictional wonderful and strange world. In Part 6 of Twin Peaks: The Return, Sonny Jim Jones is seen reading a book in bed when his dad Dougie Jones returns home from Lucky 7…
Work pulled me away from the wonderful and strange Twin Peaks these past few weeks. I’m thrilled to return to town with a new discovery from my favorite David Lynch film, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. Thanks to fellow Bookhouse Boy Matthew Haywood, we now know which Washington artist created a print hanging in the Deer…
In the second season of Twin Peaks, Shelly Johnson and Bobby Briggs hatch a plan to get paid for taking care of a comatose Leo Johnson. As part of their scheme, they decorate Leo’s make-shift bedroom with a clown motif, including an image originally painted by Pablo Picasso in 1918.
Here at Twin Peaks Blog, we’ve learned the value of patience while attempting to identify the props we see onscreen. Sometimes a brand name is visible and a quick Google search is all it takes, but when a description like “vintage floral bowl” is all we have to work with, we know that we’re in…
