Know Your Crazy

Know Your Crazy is an art book made for women, by women. It features mixed media art created by Vivienne Boucherat, a visual artist and musician from London, and was brought to life by Cindy daSilva, an artist manager out of New Jersey, and Rene Harbison, who heads up a production and consulting firm in Austin, Texas.

We all have our own ‘crazy’, and we each internalize in our own way.  We’ve made art come to life using Vivienne’s own little heady, mad women and we have presented it hopefully in a way that each one of you can relate to. Our intent was to make ‘crazy’ less crazy. We hope you’ll share with your friends and that you’ll have some fun, share a few laughs and perhaps shed of couple of tears, but most importantly know you are not alone. For all of our differences, we are all very much the same. 

We decided to crowdfund Know Your Crazy so that numerous women could be a part of our project! By backing our project, you will have the opportunity to experience some, if not all of these wonderful perks!

• We are recreating the 1972 Rock anthem “Hold Your Head Up”, originally by Argent, to serve as the soundtrack for our project.  You can be featured in our women’s movement recording and/or video for “Hold Your Head Up – (Almost) A cappella Version.”  (Diamond and Platinum tiers only)

  • Did you know the lyrics are actually “Hold your head up, woman”? We didn’t think so ? But Vivienne knows because she is married to the songwriter!  Her husband Chris White was the original bass player for 1960s British Invasion legends, The Zombies, and has countless credits to his name as a songwriter and producer, including the beloved Zombies classic “This Will Be Our Year” (heard in pivotal emotional scenes on TV shows like “Schitt’s Creek”, “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” and “Mad Men”).  Chris wrote “Hold Your Head Up” for and about women, which is why he’s disappointed so many fans misquote the lyrics.  Our (Almost) A cappella Version will set the record straight!

    • Audio – A clip of your vocals (at least 10 seconds) which will be recorded in a professional recording studio (limit to 30 minutes at the studio) will be included on “Hold Your Head Up – Almost A cappella Version.” Get dressed up, go to a professional recording studio, where a talented engineer/producer will help you sound your best! The experience of a lifetime!

    • Video – Sing, dance, hold up a sign that says WOMAN! Those are just a few of the things you can do within our “Hold Your Head Up – Almost A cappella Version” video that will be on YouTube for all the world to see! Be a part of our women’s movement and get ready for your closeup! ?
