WHO IS THIS?
One of the few artists many people are able to recognize simply from the eyes.
As a teenager he came to blows with a friend about a girl they both fancied, and the injury he sustained resulted in a rare eye affliction called "anisocoria."
Anisocoria is unequal pupil size. The pupil is the black part in the center of the eye. It gets larger in dim light and smaller in bright light. Source
