Clint Cary, the Spaceman of Ocean Beach (1909 to 1993).
In the 1950s, Clint was abducted to the planet Rillispore. Twice. He spent the rest of his life painting it, in fluorescent colors that come alive under blacklight. The three paintings in this Reel are his, each created by Clint Cary.
As the Rillisporians' designated representative on Earth, he issued tickets to select humans in OB for seats on the spaceships to Rillispore. (XiB over a black star: David Bowie's ticket number.)
Kilowatt Ocean Beach shows many of his original paintings, from the collection of Greg Longway, in a blacklight gallery in his honor. The Space Pad is our other tribute to the Spaceman and Planet Rillispore, inside Kilowatt Oceanside.
