Here's an idea that I got from my wild haydays back when I used to play in
band.
It's non-toxic too.
Take a glow stick break it shake it up so the stuff is all mixed up.
cut tube. And have fun painting it on whatever floats your boat. I remmember
using it in a concert we did but it messed up the woodwork on one of my
guitars. Lasts a long time. Plenty time to get a print I imagine. Just
gotta be creative I guess.

Sincerely,
Jonathan

P.S. When photography is not fun anymore your in the wrong bussiness.
