RIP Jules Feiffer. His comics are still as funny and relevant today as they ever were. Not to mention his amazing screenplays for Little Murders and Carnal Knowledge, to name a few.

david lynch struggled to get financing for his new film right before he passed. john waters just canned a film for the same reason. our greatest artists are aging and no studios are interested in funding the auteurs whose influence shaped the artform while they’re still with us

I’ve always loved David Lynch’s brand of humor & joy, that radiated through everything he did including his most upsetting scenes. Leaning into those unsettling contradictions, those giant question marks in the sky — the more ridiculous, the more terrifying they were.

I don't think it was pain that made him so great, I think painting brought him whatever happiness he had.

RIP David Lynch
ALT People might bring up Vincent van Gogh as an example of a painter who did great work in spite of, or because of, his suffering. I like to think that van Gogh would have been even more prolific and even greater if he wasn’t so restricted by the things tormenting him. I don’t think it was pain that made him so great, I think painting brought him whatever happiness he had. —David Lynch
