Hey gromyko. 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

I love the impasto effect - the thick application of paint is pleasing to the eye.

You're welcome, Gromyko - and I'd have to agree that trees ARE aware of our presence and our influence. People are quick to forget that trees are living, breathing creatures.

and they feel also...accordiing to recent scientific studies on plants, they discovered that trees and plants react to external stimula, for example a very noisy environment where an orchid is planted will not bloom easily, whereas, in a solem habitat it will profusely bloom...i here make the notion that trees stand as living witnesses,to human history...thank you for relating my friend

Yes, I learned meditation techniques that called for concentrating on plants and trying to "feel" their essence. We humans just have to learn that we're NOT the most important things on this planet.
