A deep dive into art occurred for Joan Torres's All Is Fused fourth album REVOLUTION....

The results: 

• A $20K grant awarded from the San Francisco Commission for the Arts to produce the fifth album  in 2021

To make it happen, WCI contributions include:

• Grant award:
  
  • Grant writing and submission strategy
  • Budgeting and cost planning
• Album artwork:
  
  • Line Production: location scouting, venue coordination, transportation, time management
  • Photography
  • Graphic Design (aka lots of Saturday afternoons spent meticulously pushing pixels around to get the feeling right)

Sample and purchase this musical experience from Bandcamp, with proceeds going straight to the artist.

This Thanksgiving we built a heartfelt e-commerce site just for fun. Really. Because at the end of long day all we want to  do is laugh, and there's no better way than putting things online to share our joys with others... and thus CrappyWatercolors.com was born.

WCI Projects helped craft this adorably zany site through a few professional skill sets including:

• Sales operations set up
• Pricing strategy (to make sure we weren't accidentally paying people to take our creations home)
• Accounts payable

All items are printed-to-order in the USA. Get yours today!

Location scouting, scheduling, budgeting, and providing feedback to camera handlers and editors: all things done in support of the Joan Torres's All Is Fused music video for Invaded. With just only two takes in studio at Different Fur Studios and a half hour during the album photo shoot on location at Jerry Garcia Park in San Francisco, CA, the parts and pieces for a live studio video came together smoothly. 

The crew of The Circle, a documentary in-progress that presents an evolution of Capoeira, an Afro-Brazilian martial art disguised within ritual dance, travelled to Brazil to visit with Mestre Nô during to learn more about the roots of a practice that have spread worldwide.

Dozens of hours of footage capture perspectives on capoeira that will provide students insights into Mestre's history and teachings. The team is in the process of planning content and editing footage. Within the next 12 months a web interactive allowing visitors to digitally explore the material will be released. We're looking forward to sharing with you soon!

With my good friend and owner of Kayak Connection, I managed and helped develop a retro style apparel logo. Truckers hats are a sought after commodity on the beaches of Santa Cruz, and Jess (the owner) wanted her own business to shine. It was a colorful project and fun to be a part of. 

Next time you're in Santa Cruz, be sure to head out on the water! Kayak Connection's got you covered.
