In an effort to shed some light on the mystery man whose cranium now serves as the packaging for Dan Aykroyd’s Crystal Head Vodka, a Scottish man named Nigel Cockerton — whom CNET notes has a Masters in Forensic and Medical Art from the University of Dundee — undertook a painstaking facial reconstruction. Cockerton documented the entire process, which included the addition of glass eyes, muscles, cartilaginous bits, and finally, skin and a natty hairdo. The finished dude looks ready to party and a little Hobbit-ish, not to mention a little bit rock-and-roll. Straight ahead, Mr. Crystal Head Vodka comes alive, muscle, skin, eyes, and all. (Just FYI, we’re going to starting calling him Gary for the hell of it.)
