"The Pinwheel Man" is Vic Tredwell (W. Victor Tredwell), citizen of Belfast, Maine, USA, Earth. The nickname Pinwheel Man comes from a kind of mummer/clown character I portray at parades and children's events, wearing and handing out pinwheels. Information and news of my activities can be found on Facebook, Tumblr and other systems, under both my real name and various nicknames.
