In 1966, Rick Griffin did a comic for Surfer Magazine called “Guess Who’s Minding The Store”. The owners of Surfer Magazine had gone out of town and left Rick in charge to “Mind The Magazine” but came back to find that Rick had turned the magazine into a wild Sunset-Strip disco, complete with carnival rides and go-go dancers. In the drawing, Terry O’Shea is clearly featured with his Crystal Ball trying to get into the party along with fellow artists Ron Cooper and Ron Davis.

In an L.A. Times article dated January 22, 1977 O’Shea is quoted as saying to young students from UCLA who visited his studio, “My pieces are cosmetic aids used by fortune tellers”.
