Monsters of October: Blacklight Godzilla!
Yesterday afternoon my wife and I participated in a black light painting event. This is one of the 2 paintings I made.
Godzilla stomps through a city and uses his atomic breath in this blacklight painting that was photographed under a blacklight. It doesn’t look nearly as cool under normal lighting.

My wife and I participated in a black light painting event this afternoon. I’m fairly happy with the result.
