An Ultra-Sound Investment

My First SilhouetteIf Andy Warhol had ever gotten over his fascination with Campbell’s soup cans and Marilyn Monroe, and turned his attention instead to sonogram pictures, he might have produced something like the image on the right.

This picture was created by My First Silhouette, a company founded and run by husband-and-wife team Angela and Patrick Flynn. He’s a fine artist, illustrator and designer whose clients have included Kodak and Disney. She’s a marketing wunderkind who has worked for Nordstrom and The Minneapolis Institute of Arts. They call My First Silhouette “ultrasound art.” The Flynns use a digital process to transform a sonogram picture into a piece of modern art and preserve what is technically a baby’s first picture. Expectant parents can choose from either paper or My First Silhouettecanvas prints. The Paper Giclee Prints are printed on Somerset Velvet Paper using professional archival inks. The canvas version is available gallery wrapped or unstretched and also uses archival inks. You can choose from a variety of color combos and personalize the accompanying text. One couple were big fans of the University of Oregon. They had their sono silhouette done in the school’s colors with the wording, “Go Ducks.” The possibilities are endless.

Warhol would be proud.
