| | Visual Morphing Takes The Stage
| UV Light + Paint = Magical Imagery, Fascinated Viewers |

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PR Log (Press Release) –
Oct 19, 2009 – Imagine watching a live stage performance; a beautiful lady in white against a pastel wall prop with an ocean view window. Then, her dress glows with fantastic colors, a pastoral garden mural morphs on the wall, and a full moon rises over a now turquoise sea. Turn off your imagination and turn on a "black" (UV or ultraviolet) light because an internationally known painter has perfected this visual technology in which realistic images appear or disappear, and colors or even seasons, can change. This can be achieved on any paintable/printable surface or object, and these effects can be obtained on transparent, translucent, or opaque materials.
Black light effects are not new, but their use in fine art, their archival museum quality, and their near invisibility under normal light, are very new indeed, and innovative uses for this dramatic technique are evolving rapidly.
Artist Ken Shotwell, a former NASA Engineer, is now receiving cross-over interest from the entertainment, architecture, advertising, and apparel realms. He confesses, "I paint in the dark with nearly invisible paint. I seem to be the only fine artist using this process, and I plan to extend this medium to sculpture and beyond. I see that other industries have plans for me also!" Shotwell's team, including U.S. and Japanese agents, were recently awarded patents for related ultraviolet lighting systems which best showcase his original paintings and limited edition graphics.
This month marks a first-time international campaign to spotlight this fresh art medium, not only through a major gallery in Japan, but now also via non-exclusive worldwide retail dealers. Related retail sales totals in excess of $17,000,000 are attracting new product developers, patent licensees, investors, and creative project types in need of that "special something" to set them apart from their competitors, be they entertainment producers, designers, sales executives, or fashion trend-setters.
