Glow Threads 

Interactive UV light responsive t-shirts which are commercially available:

Glow Thread shirts are the first interactive glow in the dark t-shirts. You are able to to draw and create custom designs using our UV keychain light and UV Laser. Our UV keychain light is included with every purchase which allows you to draw on our shirts by touching the UV light to the shirt and write whatever you want. Using the UV laser you can draw on the shirt from up to 40ft away. Unlike other Glow Thread “imitators” where you are limited to a silk screened rectangle to draw on, our Glow Thread shirts are fully customizable and you are able to draw on every piece of the t-shirt. This means there is NO silk screened area and you are able to draw on the front, back, sides and even the sleeves.

Glow Graffiti Light Painter (via PetaPixel)

I have previously posted about an artist who created their own light painting tool in the form of an aerosol for the purpose of creating ‘light graffiti’. Now, anyone can try this out with a product that does the same thing:

Glow Graffiti is an aerosol can-style light painting tool similar to the one by artist Aïssa Logerot that we featured back in September. It’s powered by a UV light rather than the interchangeable LED lights used by Logerot, but the Glow Graffiti comes with a special UV-sensitive backdrop on which paintings are visible for around 30 seconds (the kit contains letter stencils too). You can pick up a set for $39 from Photojojo or Amazon (it’s prime eligible).
