Sndbox Project Updates are recaps of major Steem-powered project developments led by current cohort members. Sndbox projects are specifically designed and executed to broaden the impact and presence of creative and community work within the Steem ecosystem.
Hello Steemit! This week we’ll be revising our "Project Series" to update you all on major projects currently underway. We did the first comprehensive report last month and plan on publishing an update every 2 weeks with their latest developments from here on out. So let’s jump into it -
Hive account@mrblinddraw's #whisper Gallery is Steemit’s own artistic form of the game "Telephone" where artists call upon other creatives on the platform to interpret work and continue a thread of innovation. It's an amazing showcase of cross-disciplinary collaboration. Make sure to explore the range of creatives involved in this exciting project.
We want to collectively build an art community. This is a great way to connect us, support each other through up-votes, comments, and follows. Steemit can be a slow-growing platform for creatives starting out, and the future goal is to roll this into a community event where people can be perpetually submitting to the chain. (Link)
Check out the latest submission this week by 
Hive account@coloringiship and the full trail of the Whisper project here.
Hive account@kr-marketing is a Korean community project led by 
Hive account@leesongyi and 
Hive account@leesol. Their team reinvents blockchain news and crypto-information into beautiful and easy to understand illustrations. Afterwards, these graphics are shared throughout social media and off-line as prints. Across all languages, this is a fantastic precedent for Steem-powered collaboration among blockchain developers, experts, traders and artists!
This week, they’ve published new chapters on blockchain-related vocabulary and one commemorating the Sewol Ferry tragedy. Read and support the full posts here and here.
