Artwork made from your DNA

Here’s something to file away if you’re looking for completely original artwork:

DNA 11 is a company based out of South Beach, Florida, that makes artwork based off your DNA. Yup. You send them a collection of your DNA (you swab the inside of your cheek and send it on) and they send you back a canvas representation of your genetic code. They come in 25 color combinations, in sizes from 18” x 24” to 36” x 54”. Prices are $390 to more than $1,200.

You can also get portraits made of your fingerprints and lips. Same thing: Stamp your fingerprint or smooch on a collection kit, and they’ll send you back original artwork, ala you.

A whole family of fingerprints.
A little Warhol-esque, huh?

This takes one-of-a-kind to a whole new level. Love it or not-so-much?

I love it. But it would cease to be cool if everyone had one.

Ah, but they’d never all be quite the same …
