David Lynch, a multifaceted artist, is known for his unusual creations. He made kits with dissected animals, befriended and then abandoned five Woody Woodpecker dolls, almost directed Return of the Jedi, and suffered a hernia laughing at Angelo Badalamenti. His eclectic career also includes producing a 12th-century religious music album and becoming obsessed with Mad Men. Lynch's unique personality extended to his furniture-making, where he famously disliked large tables.
