David Lynch's Hair as the World's Greatest Masterpieces (+ How to Meditate)

Apr 17, 2011 04:23 AM

San Francisco writer Jimmy Chen over at HTMLGIANT cleverly composited the beloved filmmaker/artist/furniture designer/transcendental meditation expert David Lynch next to the likes of Cy Twombly, Vincent Van Gogh, John Singer Sargent, Roy Lichtenstein, Claude Monet and Katsushika Hokusai.

The art of the hairstyle x the art of painting...and somehow the other end of the equation is Lynch. Why am I not surprised? Because Lynch is the man (plus he does have pretty awesome hair). World renown, you either love him or you hate him, but you gotta give him this: he's one with the universe. Lynch loves meditation, and he is doing his darnedest to share his path to inner calm with the whole wide world. Here's a lesson for the day, from the lips of Lynch himself. It'll take you an hour and a half to get through it, so...

...if you don't have the time, check out this beautiful set of drawings instead. Artist Yumi Sakugawa illustrates Lynch's philosophy in brief:
