Picasso, Matisse, Van Gogh — make way for my DNA. DNA 11 is offering to create artwork based on your very own DNA, so now you don't need any talent to create truly one-of-a-kind masterpieces. A group of different sized pieces of your DNA is run on a type of "gel," which is then treated with fluorescent dye and an ultraviolet light. The result is a unique luminescent glow. A camera takes a picture of it, and ta-da, science makes art. And if it looks bad, well, you only have your genetics to blame.

Prices range from $800 to $1800, which is certainly pricey, but it's quite reasonable for an art piece that is unquestionably yours.
