JAMIE FRANKI ART WORK BENEFITS PAN

Jamie Franki Art Work brings $1,400 at the PAN Fall Banquet Auction

Numismatic coin and medal artist / designer Jamie Franki created and donated an original piece of art depicting PAN's Living American History performers to support and fundraise for PAN's Living American History Program that continues to be a very popular addition at major coin shows across the country. Coin dealer David Siebert owner of The Coin Collector was the winning bidder at $1,400 that took place on Thursday evening October 19th during the PAN Banquet held at the iconic LeMont Restaurant overlooking the City Pittsburgh skyline.

 

The piece features living history portrayers Dennis Boggs as Abraham Lincoln, Patrick McBride as Benjamin Franklin, and Curt Radabaugh as George Washington. In Jamie's words, Those of you who frequent coin shows will likely recognize these three fine fellows, who bring American history to life for kids of all ages. I made this mixed-media artwork as a donation to the Pennsylvania Association of Numismatists' Living History educational program. A one of a kind 16x20 framed canvas print of my artwork will be auctioned by PAN at their upcoming Fall Coin Show. I wanted the image to be educational so each of their alter egos has a quintessential idea we associate with them, Lincoln has his Gettysburg address, Franklin has his electricity experiment, Washington has his Colonial Battle Flag and falling Christmas snow from his Delaware crossing.

The art medium and technique as described by Jamie is XX large! The tools are client supplied photos and Photoshop to build and compose references, then Prismacolor pencils, then scan, more Photoshop and adding in the graphic elements.

Smaller matted prints are available for sale at $50 each with all the proceeds going to support the Living American History Program. The smaller print image is 8x10 with a 12x14 black beveled mat. The goal is to continue to have these actors appear at future coin shows and to be able to bring their message of our country's past to the present. Prints can be purchased through the PAN website.
