1. December 21, 2019 - Article - "Lightning Network Milestone - Micro-Auction Art Piece sells for $0.000000037" by Georgi Georgiev. An art piece entitled "Black Swan" by Cryptograffiti was auctioned to the lowest bidder for a milli-satoshi using the Bitcoin Lightning Network. Cryptograffiti is quoted as posting "I'm excited about a future where micropayments are omnipresent. Artists paid by the view...writers by the poem...musicians by the listen."

2. January 4, 2019 - Article: PixEOS - "Pixel-by-Pixel, New Project Offers Game Where Crypto Players Can Create Blockchain Art" by Connor Blenkinsop quote: " Offering a 1 million pixel canvas, PixEOS Paint offers a profit-sharing system where players can paint pixels over one another and create a collaborative art piece. At the conclusion of every game, a blank canvas begins." Reminds me of DadaNYC project. Scheduled to launch the first quarter of 2019. Canvas turns into a non-fungible token. Users can vote on favorite canvas. Work will go to highest bidder on PixEOS Auction House.
