Summary: IT'S A STRANGE WORLD
Review: Ever wonder what goes through David Lynch's mind at any given time? This might explain it. This is a great coffee table book full of color and b&w pictures split between his films and his art (drawings, paintings, photos, sculptures, etc.). I only wish it contained some of his World's Angriest Dog comic strips. It's a strange world.

Summary: Oddity Takes a Freeze Frame
Review: Lynches artwork expressed here in Hyperions book entitled Images. Although I expected to see Lynch's artwork, ones that were in exhibits or from college, the majority of it is from his films. I can admit I have seen his films enough to not want to see pictures of them (if I did I would watch the movie again). But the pictures that show his work are highly unique and from a certain point of view, quite disturbing. Whether they are "good" art or not I am still undecided. Reccomended for Lynch fans only, or those that versed in the fine arts.

Summary: David Lynch as photographer
Review: You know David Lynch as a movie director and possibly as a painter, but this book will open your eyes to Lynch as a photographer. Packed with mostly black and white (I like the black and whites best) and a few color images, this book includes photos by and about David Lynch projects.

It includes production stills from some of his movies, but more importantly, it includes images from his personal creative projects. My favorite collection in this book are his black and white "Industrial" photographs. I also love his "Nudes and Smoke" project. Both evoke a feeling of Film Noir, yet with an underlying beautiful darkness potential that only Lynch can attain. He also includes studies on things like dental hygiene and spark plugs. This is all very Lynchian stuff folks-and that's rockin' good news.

I would have personally preferred to see more personal projects and less of the movie stuff, but I guess the movie stuff is what sells.

If you are a Lynch fan, then you should buy this book. And if you are not one, chances are your interest will be sparked by this book and you may become one.
