In Part 4 of Twin Peaks: The Return, Dougie Jones has a moment of self-reflection in his bathroom mirror following a great release. For years, I’ve wondered what framed floral image was hanging on the bathroom wall as Dougie approached the mirror. It didn’t take long for me to locate the original artwork first created in…
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.
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.
Being a child of the 1980s, I remember learning how to “dare to keep a kid off drugs” through the D.A.R.E. program at my grade school. This campaign along with the iconic frying of an egg to symbolize my brain being on drugs are forever imbedded into my brain. Perhaps that is what the Partnership…
In David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, Laura Palmer and Donna Hayward travel north with Buck and Tommy to a backroom bar called The Power and The Glory. This sparsely decorated club is bathed in a pink hue. In a moment of clarity, Laura rushes to save her best friend Donna from falling deeper…
I’d like to think the official beer of Twin Peaks is Rainier Beer. At the time the first two seasons and David Lynch’s feature film were made, the taps were still flowing at the Washington state brewery. Today, the Rainier brand is owned and operated by Pabst Brewing Company and the beer is produced in California….
The first 35 minutes of David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me is some kind of wonderful fever dream. From Chris Isaak and Kiefer Sutherland’s performances to the strangeness of Deer Meadow, I return time and time again to these scenes. After identifying the Shyvers Multiphone in Hap’s Diner and Agent Sam Stanley’s “Whiteman Instrument”…
Hap’s Diner in David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me may not have offered specials but they did have an early version of a streaming music service. Instead of a jukebox like the one found near the entrance to the Double R Diner in Twin Peaks, there was a silver Art Deco machine behind the…
I recently shared details about the Thunderbird totem pole by master carver Don Wells Keys that’s found at Kiana Lodge in Poulsbo, Washington. This private event and wedding venue served as the filming location for The Great Northern Hotel interiors in the Twin Peaks pilot. A hand-carved bear by Keys makes a cameo twice in…
