This is my introduction post for my coming aboard the @sndbox project. In almost a very active year on Steem, I saw a lot of guilds and teams and trails and projects, some very good, other just intended to get money (which is not a bad thing, if you do it honestly). 

I tried to do my best and to put on Steem's social media all my creative, original contents, posting every day some articles. I have to say that I have already received from Steem more than what I gave. 

The mere fact to be rewarded for your own content, even with just some dollars, is a great incentive - expecially for artists and creative makers and thinkers. As a professional artist for almost 30 years, I can say that receiving feedbacks is important. And money... you know, money matters when it lacks (my opinion ;)), and for most of the artists it always lacks. 

But I don't want to digress. This post is intended to explain why I joined the Sndbox team and what I hope to do with them. 

First of all, I want to thank @natureofbeing for inviting me in the Sndbox team.  I followed the activity of @voronoi (expecially his post about city maps and city planning) and the @hitheryon collective, and appreciated their work. I followed and appreciated many other of the members of Sndbox project. 

This is the most important guarantee of the credibility and quality of this project - in my opinion. Because Steem is also a great community of people. 

The great difference between Steem and other cryptos is not only the great technology that Dan Larimer created; it is also the choice to have a social media on the blockchain (and I hope Ned will continue to have this part developed). 

So, a group of creative steemians I like created a project to support and help other creative talents to develope their own ideas. That's amazing, isn't it? 

The slogan in the Sndbox website says it all: 

We are a multimedia incubator that utilizes blockchain technology to empower impactful and creative projects worldwide.

 I have an idea about a Art Guild, and I talked about it recently. @arthuradamson is also thinking about a guild for artists, to actually help artists and have them working together. We both think that the future for art goes in that direction. Maybe @sndbox can be also helpfull to develope that idea. 

I have no interest on putting my hat on that idea, I just think I can help. In the same way I hope to be able to help other artists and creative talents. 

Beyond this, my goals on Steem - and with the Sndbox project - are mostly about   

• - collaborating with other artists and art managers to make, share and sell art 
• - find new way to make and share art on a decentralized network 
• - helping other artists and creative people I like 
• - I have my little website for selling and buying art running - Steemarket.com - and I'd like to develope it with others (I'm not so tech ;) )
  

And, you know, I've always dreamed to be a sandman :D
