From Matthew Skiff's blog entry for this print:

I love anything that glows in the dark. When I was a kid I would actively search for action figures with the glow in the dark feature and weapons (and I still kind of do). When I was asked to be a part of the “When the Lights Go Out” show for Bottleneck Gallery, I couldn’t say no.

Inspiration for this design came to me when I was reading the Mail Order Mysteries book (that also has a glow in the dark cover). There is a section about the Hypno-Coin, a cheap mail order coin with a lenticular spiral image on it. Supposedly it was supposed to give you hypnotic powers, and as a kid you would give anything to control and hypnotize people (especially girls). Obviously because it was a cheap and gimmicky mail order product and it didn’t work that well.
