DNA11 KISS Portraits

Our Friends at DNA11, who have made their name creating custom portraits from DNA and fingerprints, recently paired with MAC Cosmetics to bring you the KISS Portrait, a modern and personalized art piece whose purchase benefits the MAC Aids Fund. Kiss Portraits, which became available today, are created through a fun, interactive process that relies on the involvement of both buyers and designers. The process begins when customers receive a MAC VIVA GLAM lipstick in the mail and get to work capturing the perfect pucker on accompanying KISS sheets. Once a satisfactory smooch is produced, customers send the lip print back to DNA11’s designers, who hand-trace the image, customize it to the customer’s size and color specifications, print it on high-quality canvas, then varnish and frame it according to the order. The completed piece is then returned to the owner, ready to modernize and sexify a bit of very lucky wall space. DNA11’s new site, which also launched today, offers shoppers thousands of choices to aid the creation of their KISS Portraits, as well as newly updated pages for the DNA and FingerPrint Portraits (both of which we’ve told you about before). If you’ve yet to check out this company (or the great concept behind it, From life comes art), be sure to do so; we’re big supporters/followers of what they do, and we’re betting that you’ll join the fanclub once you take a look too.
