DNA Art (Part 2)
We wrote about DNA art earlier in the year, I just came across it again today and still find it particularly cool (if somewhat expensive) so thought I’d write about their products in a bit more detail (who knows they may even send me a freebie 
).
The cheapest form of DNA art that dna11 sell is the FingerPrint Portrait. With these you choose what style of print you want (there are such choices as Earth Mist and Pop Mango) and make an order. They then send you a fingerprint collection kit, which you complete and send back. Then in 4-6 weeks you have your own totally unique and personalised piece of art. Prices for the FingerPrint Portrait
start at $190.
The next portrait is the actual DNA Portrait. Here you have to send them a sample of your DNA (hopefully done via a mouth swab rather than a needle) and they’ll print and varnish a graphical representation of it, which I must admit looks very cool in an abstract kind of way. You can get DNA portrait in split screens so they can represent the DNA of the entire family. Prices for the DNA Portrait start at $390, so lets hope you have pretty DNA
.
By far the coolest DNA product is the GlowFrame. The GlowFrame is like the DNA Portrait but also incorporates a back-lite so that your DNA picture glows on the wall, this does look remarkably cool and a real head turner. Unfortunately prices for this start at $790 so this is one for the deep pocketed DNA art lover.
Finally if you’re a real animal lover you can even get DNA art for your pet , simply submit your pet’s DNA instead of your own for a unique piece of animal artwork (though whether your pet will appreciate the artistic gesture is anybodies guess).

This is definitely something to show off at a bachelor pad or something.

I really wanted a dna art piece but did not want a print. I found an artist that paints your unique dna. I now have my unique dna portrait hand painted which I was part of the whole process. I decided on the colors and textures to compliment my unique dna code. The whole process was totally unique.
The artists website is http://www.dna-art.com

I have been painting and sculpting Fingerprint Portraits for nineteen years and used to have all the fingerprint portrait google slots until 2006 May when this company started imitating my Fingerprint Portraits(TM). I have been sending Fingerprint Portrait(TM) kits out to collectors for over a decade and I make inkjet prints, paintings, totems. All my work carries an original hand signature. The New York Times called my Fingerprint Portrait of David Bowie ‘cutting edge art’ in 2001. Thanks for looking at http://www.sandygarnett.com or http://www.fingerprintportrait.com, a name I bought seven years ago. I have been slow on the response but I am tired of seeing this company declare they invented my Fingerprint Project.

I prefer DNA Art by DNAartonline.com. This company offers a DNA Comparison with World Map, digital image on CD, detailed report at no additional charge. They are also cheaper and offer optional DNA testing for those not yet comfortable submitting a DNA sample. It’s worth checking out @ DNAartonline.com
