How do they do it? The first step is to collect your own cheek-swab sample, or that of a favorite mammal, with your home collection kit and send it to DNA 11. At their lab, the DNA is extracted and run on a gel which allows them to capture a digital image.
Back at HQ the image is digitally enhanced, coloured and printed on canvas with a Giclee printer. Because all DNA strands are unique, no two images will ever be the same. Each piece comes with a signed certificate of authenticity and a unique serial number printed on a hologram- sweet!
Want to give a very cool wedding gift? DNA 11 also offers split screen artwork so you can combine the DNA of two, three or even four people on a single canvas.
It could be a bit tricky to explain the need for a cheek swab without blowing the surprise.
Images start at $399 for one person.
