I'm jumping on the wagon to help a fellow creator out.
While a trip to Amsterdam was way out of reach for me this year,
perhaps we can help another person get there.

Why do this?

@everlove @opheliafu @mariandavp @mikkolyytinen, and a few other people have begun collaborating on projects to raise funds for Amsterdam.

I have to admit I've felt a touch of the green envy monster. "Why her and not me?" Yeah, I stuffed my 3-year ego back under the stairwell with a stale cookie and locked the door, turning that stinkin' thinkin' around to say

Why NOT her?

I've been preaching a gift economy for Steemit for a while, and this is a perfect opportunity to practice what I preach.

Here's the idea:

Let's take Ned's head and do something fun with it!

Why not try collaboration on top of collaboration?

EXAMPLE:
Let's say an artist "decorates" Ned's head.
Then a poet writes something about it.
A singer adds their voice
Another one adds backup
Then a musician takes that and adds a music track.
And then an animator adds colorful, moving squiggles and background
And so on...

Before we know it, we could have a pretty cool Ned's Head video!

What do you think?

Incentive

I'm still a lowly minnow but I've got $10 SBD left in my wallet that I'll donate to @everlove regardless of how this experiment goes.

This is a 50/50 post. I can't donate SP, but all the STEEM generated from this post will also be donated to her with payout and transfer by Sunday afternoon. or sooner.

Guidelines

• Post your collaboration on your own blog
• Link this "origination" post on it
• Post a link to your blog HERE
• Resteem to get as much attention as possible
  IMPORTANT
• CITE THE ARTISTS WHOM YOU'VE COLLABORATED WITH
  EXAMPLE
  
  
  
  Then you come around and want to add more animation
  You MUST cite the previous collaborators. Let's say @everlove superimposes Ned's head on one of her pictures. Then @opheliafu animates his head And @lloyddavis adds a musical track

What's in it for you?

Fun
Collaboration
Perhaps your post will be lucrative?
Pay-It-Forward
Building a supportive gift economy

Let's see where this goes!
