David Lynch, already mentioned by atari 2600 in this thread, but worthy of more praise, in this case from myself. I love his work in general, especially his movies. His photographs are wonderful, too. Even the furniture and objects he designs are pretty ace. This is an awesome lamp:

Below are a few of the pictures he did for the Fetish shoes designed by Christian Louboutin. It can be noticed that some visual elements, such as the red curtains, for example, and also the presence of distortion (something Lynch has said he loves because he considers it to be "beautiful") appear in this other facet of his work somehow linking it to the aspects already known of his aesthetic.
Some other photographs from this series can be seen in the video embeded in
this website. Wondering if any of you European boardies attended that exhibition if you happened to have the chance. It must have been amazing to be able to give a closer look to all those pictures.
