A Truly Magical Work of Art
The World's first 'Multi-Colour' Cosmic Ceiling was created in 2003 by Michael J Blackburn; the founder
and Managing Director of Glowtec Ltd.
Whilst 'single-colour' first generation 'starry' ceilings
(made using dots
of glow paint or plastic stick-on stars) had
been around for several years, the art form
as such had
never really progressed beyond this simple effect.
As Michael explains. "I was so amazed at the
images coming down from the Hubble
Telescope, I just had to see if it was
possible to recreate them on my kid's bedroom
ceilings. I knew about the stick-on glow
stars and glow paint dots on the ceiling,
but frankly that didn't float my boat. What
I really wanted, was a realistic and
colourful
cosmic effect on the ceiling, one that
would be
invisible in the daytime, but glow at night when
the kids went to bed."
As there was nothing like this around at the
time and inspired by the breathtaking images
from deep-space, Michael set about making
his vision into a reality and in so doing, created
a whole new art form to reproduce the
spectacular colourful cosmic effects of deep
space phenomenon, such as cosmic gas clouds and
colourful nebulae etc.
After months of painstaking research and development,
using the latest generation of high
performance Photo-luminescent ingredients.
Michael had finally developed the ideal
formulation of daytime-invisible
'coloured' glow paints, that he needed to create
the first
'Multi-Colour' Glow-in-the-Dark Cosmic Ceiling, as well as
the artistic techniques and
special effects he needed to reproduce the cosmic
phenomenon.
Since Glowtec launched it's
revolutionary
Starglow FX System back in 2004, this
exciting new art form has evolved to include
the new generation of Starglow UV-Revealing
Paints, and has been 'adopted' by
several competing 'FX' companies,
with the result that there are now hundreds
of practicing next-generation Cosmic Ceiling Artists,
throughout the world.
