Online Music Store Hopes to Get Funding 'Kickstart' for Art Series

An online music store has turned to kickstarter.com with hopes of making a creative project a reality.

East Lake Gear Exchange has a goal of $5,000 to fund the effort, which is "an art series painted on guitar bodies with one of a kind artistic concepts," the post reads in part.

Artists, musicians, filmmakers and other creators post the details of their projects and funding goal on kickstarter in hopes of getting backers that will support them.

Money raised as of May 29 for the art series: $20. The funding period began May 1 and ends June 15.

East Lake Gear Exchange's post also reads:

We would like to create concepts with silk screens, pop art, tagging, stencils, painting, photo wraps and decals, vintage relics, multi colored burst finishes, classics like "the scream", and any other inspiration that comes to mind.

The anticipated budget is "$400-$600 per guitar body depending on the type of wood, grain quality, and pickup selection," the post continues. Read East Lake Gear Exchange's entire post about the art series here.
