Great for any funky mod decor…

london underground map mirror

"The London Tube Map is probably the most iconic schematic* map ever drawn. Despite being topographically inaccurate, this lifeline to understanding how to go where in London has become a classic work of art. Nowhere has it been better represented than in this achingly cool wall mirror from those award wining London designers at Suck U.K. The London Underground map was the brain child of Harry Beck (a London Transport employee in 1931) who realised that drawing an accurate map of the tube system would just confuse the heck out of us all. His graphic schematic (which rhymes so beautifully) has become famous the world over, and been copied again and again for other underground systems the world over. This sizeable 75cm long mirror comes with steel wall brackets and screws for mounting, and is quite possibly the most chic hall or wall mirror in circulation. *Schematic means it's a representational diagram, as opposed to a topographical map (i.e. it's shape bears no relation to reality)." Features Solid glass mirror with gold-coloured depiction of the London Underground Map. The designer's clever screen printing process creates the illusion that the mirror itself is etched with the map. All zones featured on the Tube Map. Steel brackets and screws for wall mounting are included. Makes a trendy but functional room feature for 'Londonites' and Train spotters alike. Size: 75 x 52 x 0.6cm Price $100.00 USD Click here to check out the London Tube Map Mirror!

What's that, Cool Kat? You say you want some art that truly reflects your individuality and funky style? An image that melds science and art, creating a truly one-of-a-kind masterpiece? Something that involves spitting in a tube and sending it away in the mail? Uhh, ok… so you probably you weren't thinking of that last part… but check this out!

dna art

"DNA11 creates unique DNA portraits through an extraordinary combination of science and art. The process begins with the DNA being collected using a patented, non-invasive technique: depositing your saliva into a tube. This sample is then sent to our highly secure, certified laboratory, where the DNA is extracted to create a unique genetic fingerprint, using a technique that takes advantage of the variation that occurs among the DNA sequence of every individual." Ok, sounds cool so far… but then listen to this… "The end result is a group of different sized pieces of DNA (unique per individual), which we run on a gel, such that each strand of different sized DNA is separate TheDNA is then stained with a fluorescent dye and illuminated by UV light, which then glows, giving off a fluorescent signal. A special camera captures the image which is then digitally enhanced, cropped, color adjusted, adding colors and filter effects. Each piece is carefully processed to ensure the highest level of quality, and is then printed as a Giclee fine art piece. The art is made using high quality acid free polyester-cotton canvas, using pigmented inks designed to resist fading. It is then sealed with a non-yellowing protective varnish to further prolong the print life." Yes, that IS awesome! And when someone asks who was the funky artist, just point to yourself Picasso! Art from your Life Code; it doesn't get any cooler then that! Size 18" x 24" $390 USD 24” x 36” $490 36" x 54" $790 Click here to check out this DNA art!
