David Lynch is an odd character.

Apart from directing Twin Peaks, Mulholland Drive and Eraserhead, he was also once filmed chewing on a pair of panties sent to him by a fan.

As you do.

His latest project involves more than 100 photos of naked bodies in his upcoming coffee table book, David Lynch, Nudes.

Just like everything he does, it’s a little dark, but undeniably unique.

Here’s VICE:

“I like to photograph naked women,” said Lynch in a press release for the book. “The infinite variety of the human body is fascinating: it is amazing and magic to see how different women are.” Many of the frames from his new tome are barely recognizable as bodies, while others highlight perspectives and angles that would be purged from any sane person’s Instagram feed. In Lynch’s hands, the sometimes grotesque view of the body seems natural and, as he says, amazing.

Here’s a sneak peek at some of the images you’ll find in the book.

Don’t worry, we’re only showing you the classy ones:

Not bad for a notorious weirdo.
