Hey . I love this picture.
My name is Alec, I'm from Bristol and I make music under the moniker 'Zoon van snooK'. My debut album is called '(Falling from) The Nutty Tree' and I am trying to source lots of artists' images in order to find my perfect artwork for it.
The album is nearing completion and I want to have everything straight in order to send to labels.
My debut 12" EP came out on Cookshop Records (Brighton) towards the end of last year:

and they have said they are interested in releasing an album, but understand that I may want to send it to other labels before deciding on a home for it. These labels that I want to send to are Warp, Domino, Ninja Tune, Leaf, Border Community.
I have several remixes coming up for release and a soundtrack to a British Independent short-film that I'm also working on at the moment.
I've had radio support from Rob Da Bank, Huw Stephens (Radio 1), Tom Robinson, Stephen Merchant (BBC 6 Music), Nick Luscombe (NME Radio) etc.
Being the state of the music industry at the moment, there is very little money around to invest and therefore collaboration between us would solely be for mutual promotion.
If you'd like to see/hear what I do, go to my Myspace below:

You can also see the videos and background artwork that other artists have supplied so far.
I won't be offended if this is something that you are not interested in and I hope I haven't offended you by suggesting it.
Take care
Al

very nice use of the brush. I have a thing myself for tennessee trees. Except my tennessee trees are the ones along the interstate that are covered completely in ivy and look like giant monsters and dinosaurs and sea creatures! I have a drawing called Tennesse trees. it's not on here but it will be soon. That's a peaceful sort of state it seems to me. I like it.

This is beautiful, reminds me of Saun Tan's paintings.
He's done picture book called The Red Tree.
I love the departure from reality in the image, a jump into the memory of the image rather than the reproduction of it.
The world wrapping itself around the two trees, framing them. The shadows and the subtle variations in the pallet make it (for the lack of a better word) delicious to look at.

Ah, the autumn palette. Perhaps it's just some buried nostalgia for my home state of Vermont, but something about these colors stirs up a bit of emotion in me. If I knew anything about art I would give you a proper critique. Alas, I'll just have to sit here in the audience and clap.

The love with which you treat these tree paintings is so enjoyable for me. Im sure nature is aware of you. Has to be, because you have the 'touch'.

Love the deep orange/red of the tree behind the muted background.
Great piece.
