Today i rediscovered my UV body crayons, so naturally i tried to melt them onto myself. It actually turned out to be very un-viable, I could only scrape off and melt a bit of wax at a time, and i only had a hair dryer to melt it with. Also the wax cracked easily, as you can see in the last picture.. all gone. Hence i gave up after a while, so the colouring is only half complete :(
I will be sure to buy a candle at some point so i can melt them easier and make a better effort and a different design, so stay tuned. Anyway this is what it looks like, only, it was a trillion times cooler in real life because UV glowiness rocks, but this is as good as my camera does..
P.S. just to let you know, there are more posts in the bag, they just havent made it out my brain yet.
All right! Finally some skin!
ReplyDeleteWhat other works of art have you got hidden away??
lol yes skin, was that what you'd been waiting for? sorry to have kept you waiting! I don't think i have any other 'works of art hidden away'- that isn't a tattoo or anything, i just drew it on for the occasion. but im glad u like it :)
ReplyDeleteDon't let that thing touch you or you'll be electrocuted for no reason!
ReplyDeleteNice art though, I strongly belive that we as a society should use UV colours and blacklights more often. Especially on people.
!fascinating fact time people!
ReplyDeleteI heard (well im pretty sure the first bit is at least true) that some minerals glow/ emit light under high energy radiation, essentially like how UV stuff does under UV. So, it is theorised that on planets orbitting pulsars minerals in the ground and rocks flash from the beam of radiation sweeping over the planet. is that not totally fuckin cool? Imagine if life evolved on those planets, it would be the ultimate cyberpunk party race
I just found a webpage speculating on 'pulsar planets' it had this to say:
ReplyDelete"It has also been suggested that the intense ultraviolet and X-ray radiation from the pulsar might cause the surface of the pulsar planets to fluoresce. Fluorescing minerals are rare, however. The terrestrial planets of our own solar system are dominated by basalt and other non-fluorescing materials, and it is likely that this is the case with the pulsar planets as well."
So maybe not :( however, it also said this:
"If the intensity of the pulsar's radiation is great enough, it is possible that Planet a is being slowly eroded, "sand blasted" by a barrage of elementary particles. Surface material on the day side may become ionized and glow a faint blue as it is excited to escape velocity and lost to space. If this is the case, then the planet may have a tenuous atmosphere after all, albeit one caused by material being lost directly from the solid surface."
I have this image of dawn, seeing the whole horizon in a blue haze as the material vaporizes off the surface of the planet from the radiation. Horrifically deadly, but awesome.

Oh, anonymous you tool, she IS a work of art.
ReplyDeleteWas it supposed to be like a cybernetic thigh muscle replacement, or just random scribblings?
Think living on a flourescent planet would get kind of dull (pun intended) after a while.
ha, you're too kind :) yeh it was supposed to be some kind of cybernetic form really, with more wires and lights. as i said though i didnt get far and hopefully i'll come back to the idea in the future.
ReplyDeleteI still have no idea who anonymous is. Have you ever seen me anonymous? just wondering if we've met, like.
Haha, how long did it take you to figure out who I was?
ReplyDeleteoh, a few months. I'm not very good at it. I had a clue before i said anything though. i was thinking about making a post about headphones to see if you'd give a knowledgeable reply, but i never got round to it! wish i had now.
