Excellent!
Thanks Tim.
Here are my shots from the show last night:

The rosco 381 blue gel didn't work as well as a black light, but using it on my
speedlight got the facepaint to glow when there wasn't a convenient black light
around. It's definitely a trick that is going in my back pocket for future use.

A trial run of an artistic collaboration that I'm working on with a friend.
Tonight's session was practice for an art event on Friday. Here are two of
my favorites:

If you're curious, here is the whole set:

Photographing under black light gave the highest contrast, and best
distinction between some of the colors. Photographing with a blue gel over
the strobes gave us more light and sharper photos, and also more light on
the skins. If I dialed my gelled speedlight down low in addition to the CF
black lights, I could mix the two effects, dialing in how much skin I wanted
visible.
A couple photos in the set show the results of another interesting project
that I'm working on with another friend, where she is knitting fluorescent
webbing into a net. I believe she actually used her arms for knitting
needles on these two pieces, to get the very loose web.
It was a fun evening, and the technique shows some interesting promise.
