Crowd Fundraiser Benefiting Backline (3D) – Art by Half Hazard Press
Tarpestry and Blackspy Marketing have teamed up to present a crowd fundraising opportunity to benefit organizations in need – bringing together music industry-influenced organizations and visual artists. #TarpestryForACause

Artwork by Chris Gray of Half Hazard Press. This work was originally started at the beginning of 2020 as a very personal conduit for the artist to process all the events, stresses, and fears that we all have encountered in the last year. “Over the last year, this idea became a way to cope with and aid my mental health throughout the last year, starting at an all time low and completed during a season of health.” – Chris Gray
