Very psychedelic. Looks more like Dali to me than Escher, though. I
like it.

Funny, I was also playing with transparent textures earlier this week.

Quick question, how would one make a an ice-cube with cracks on the
inside, I was trying transparent/white marble (even though they're
3-dimensional, textures are only applied to the outside of an object)?

Yeah, even though textures are 3D, they only are displayed on the surface.
The way around it is to use media, or use a multi-layered object. For
example, composing a cylinder out of several hundred discs stacked so
closely on top of eachother, that you cannot see the space between them. My
experimentations with this method look neat, but are expensive as far as
memory and speed go.

I am speculating that he used a mesh of a half head and then used a
clear/solid_color pigment pattern on it.

How 'bout you do?  He did more varied stuff than you might think.  
Specifically, try this one:
