An interesting curiosity found by the MAKE blog – a 2006 painting that was created with different types of fluorescent bacteria. Nathan Shaner’s rendition of a San Diego beach scene was made using a kind of living paint composed of “eight color palette of bacterial colonies expressing fluorescent proteins derived from GFP and the red-fluorescent coral protein dsRed. The colors include BFP, mTFP1, Emerald, Citrine, mOrange, mApple, mCherry and mGrape.”

Does this mean that if the human body were opened and showed under black light we’d be looking something like a neon canvas?
