Dale Chihuly, a glass artist, has accused two glass blowers of imitating his creations inspired by the sea (nytimes.com)...

and has accused all pirates of taking credit for starting the eyepatch trend.

For all chihuly's renown, people do have mixed reactions to his works (its no help that he is suing some former hands who are "copying" the way he, simply put, "copies" the sea). I read somewhere that when you watch him and his workers in progress, you get (mind, allegedly!) the impression that he doesnt have that much direct control over the outcome.
And yet, and yet... the beauty of the works he started and is pursuing now is really outstanding and enough to make you wonder, which is imitating which: art? nature?
