Miles Davis Estate NFTs with Francine Turk
The project involved a collaboration between the Miles Davis Estate, artist Francine Turk, and myself.
We created a unique NFT collection merging Miles Davis' iconic music with the visual artistry of Francine Turk. Turk expanded Davis’ original sketches of his wives into full paintings for the NFT project. These paintings were then integrated with snippets of Miles Davis' most
famous songs to create dynamic NFT pieces.
OUTCOME
The NFTs were delivered to Christie’s Auction House.
