Cellportraits---Find Perfect And Unique Gifts

What Company Is Offering:
The narcissistic artist you're shopping for is sure to be entranced by a new and utterly unique work of art: his own DNA portrait. Just send in a few drops of blood, and Phil Fisette, an immunologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and founder of Cell Portraits, will search your loved one's cells for an aesthetic arrangement of chromosomes to immortalize on film. The images are then custom-colored to the client's preference, generating a modern piece of art. Prices range from $250 to $500.
Cell Portraits is based in Madison, WI. They specialize in providing clients with a picture of their chromosomes (microscopic structures of DNA inside the cells of the body) so they can be displayed as art. Their art is truly unique in that the chromosome images used in each piece are an actual picture of the clients DNA or genetic material. They work with each client to capture the natural photogenic beauty of their (or a loved one’s) chromosomes to create a work of art that is as unique as it is personal.

How It Works:

Select size, color, and print material preferences via the online order form.

You will receive an email confirming your preferences along with an attached instruction manual (pdf format) to acquaint you with the blood collection process.

A ChromoKit™ for the collection of your cell sample will be sent to the address that you provide.

Place 2 drops of blood into the provided sample collection tube and add the cell-growth medium.

Send your sample back to Cell Portraits via a pre-addressed, pre-paid envelope that is included with the kit.
