David Lynch passed away on January 16th of 2025, so to honor his legacy, we did a portrait on what would have been his birthday, January 20th. This was a relatively quick project done in a weekend during my usual live streaming time. I had put together a quick sketch to get started but had to adjust the proportions quite a bit to get the look I was after. In order to tell the story of a person you often have to exaggerate certain features, in this case, David’s signature hair.
