FingerPrint Art

2007-10-10dnabedroom.jpg

Brings new meaning to "his and hers." Here's a technology that creates artwork completely unique to you, because it's your own fingerprint that is blown up and becomes it's own masterpiece. The FingerPrint process creates a piece that's as small as 12" x 12" or as large as 40" x 40".

The process takes 4-6 weeks once they've received your fingerprint via a special kit they send to you. As this picture shows, there's a lot of variety available, and prices start at $190.

Presumably this would also apply to "his his" and "hers hers"

Cool idea, but can't you do this yourself for next to nothing? Throw a little ink on your finger, press to paper, and get it blown up at Kinko's. Frame. Done.

cmschmidt - fixed. you don't happen to live in WI do you?

Johnp - I thought about adding that too but just left it at the cliche for the sake of brevity. =)

How exactly is an over-sized, over-priced fingerprint art?

I'm much more interested in the bedding than the "art".

I've seen this stuff before. I can't believe people make money off mass-producing this stuff and calling it art. Someone once suggested that you obtain your kid's fingerprints and have it framed as art for a birthday present for mom/dad. No thanks!

This would be SO EASY to do yourself, I'm shocked that people would pay that much for someone else to do it. It's a cute idea though.

They have the "kit" to make these at the MoMa store.

I like the custom DNA "art" that they do a little better.

Word, Kinko's it is. But onto more important matters, like that bed frame and the bedding on it.
