A sad day for film fans. David Lynch, the influential creative master whose style became so distinctive that he spawned his own adjective—”Lynchian,” of course—has died. The news is shared in a post on his official Facebook page:
“It is with deep regret that we, his family, announce the passing of the man and artist, David Lynch. We appreciate some privacy during this time. There is a big hole in the world now that he is no longer with us. But, as he says, ‘Keep your eye on the donut and not the hole.’
It was a beautiful day with golden sunshine and blue skies forever. “
