Co-make
the work.

A collaboration is a co-credited release. Two names on the colophon. Both makers have authorship and both keep the right to talk about the work as theirs. The legal frame is a one-page agreement that names the deliverable, the split of any revenue, and the credit line.

Most collaborations are short. A single track. A single image series. A single essay. A single performance. The size of the project matches the trust it has earned.

Other artists who use AI tools and refuse to hide the seam. Musicians, writers, image-makers, video-makers, designers.

Other doctrines that overlap with PHR without being PHR. New Sincerity. Post-digital practice. IFS practitioners doing creative work. Slow art collectives.

Other projects that need a named voice for a finite piece. Soundtracks, scores, narration, image commissions.

Ghostwriting. If only one name ends up on the work, that is a commission, not a collaboration. Commissions are a different conversation and use a different agreement.

Brand integration. A collaboration with a brand is a sponsorship, not a co-credit, even if the brand wants creative input. The line between editorial work and sponsored work stays visible.

Unlimited time. A collaboration is a defined deliverable. No retainer relationships, no ongoing commitments. Each project ends with the release.

Two questions decide whether a collaboration fits. One: would the finished work be better than what either of us could make alone? Two: can both makers stand behind every line, every frame, every sound in the result? If either answer is no, the project is declined with a thank-you and a possible referral.
