Franky is a practicing artist and has been working in the tech industry for the past 15 years, now living and working in Las Vegas. The artist recently opened a new gallery\/studio where he is producing and selling physical artworks. Franky has always been fascinated with combining physical and digital art concepts, making this project a unique one.<\/p>\n

Blockchain technology, as a decentralized, distributed, and public, digital ledger, is used to record transactions across many computers so that any involved record cannot be altered retroactively. Blockchain is a secured platform and Franky is on a mission to place Certificates of Authenticity <\/em>of his artworks on the blockchain by partnering with KnownOrigin. By this, Franky will be able to sell his physical artworks and send a Certificate of Authentication<\/em>, which acts as a Certificate of Ownership, <\/em>via blockchain to buyers. Making the provenance, authenticity, and proof of ownership indisputable. Transferring ownership of the physical piece along with the Certificate of Authentication<\/em> will ensure the chain-of-custody for the collector and any future owners.<\/p>\n

Franky is also pleased to announce his event that will be coming up in March 2020 in his Gallery at www.9thgalleryarts.com<\/a>. The event is a solo art show showcasing Las Vegas themed pop art, where the multi-talented artist will be shooting a YouTube video with the design and art approach for 10 pieces each week. Starting on January 1, 2020, with a buzz around taking a new approach to Las Vegas, and painting historical places and events that he finds in Sin City.<\/p>\n
