Plus, the guy wears an eyepatch because of injuries suffered in a 1976 auto accident--seriously, nobody has rocked an eyepatch like this since the days of Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show. He also leaves the actual glass-blowing to a team of apprentice artists because of a shoulder injury he suffered in a 1979 bodysurfing accident. How could you not wanna bro down with this guy? Check out a small sampling of his art starting Thursday at Dunn and Brown Contemporary. Exhibit hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays through October 24. Call 214-521-4322 or visit dunnandbrown.com.
Tuesdays-Saturdays, 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Starts: Sept. 10. Continues through Oct. 24, 2009
