PLEASE DRAW A TREE FOR MY BOOK
I’M CROWD FUNDING FOR A BOOK…
I have thousands of photos, hours of interviews with fantastic people UpTrees and my diaries from the year of climbing AND, I also want to populate the 200 colour page art book with graphical / illustrated images of trees from you!
AS A SMALL THANK YOU YOU”LL GET 16.5% OFF IF YOU BUY THE BOOK. (I”M AFRAID I CAN’T GIVE THEM AWAY TO CONTRIBUTORS)
(Below are some of my diaries with my own hurriedly drawn trees on!)
If you want your tree in The Art of Climbing Trees book then read these requirements:
The work of Anna Widen. Artist and co-climber in tree number 268 with Hege Rimestad.
– What you get? Anyone who sends me a tree gets 16.5% off the price of the book and you may get it printed in The Art of Climbing Trees. (When you then buy a book here – quote the name of your image in the message to seller box).
– Your tree can be black and white or colour but I’m more likely to use images that can be laid on top of my photos or combined with the text. The more graphical the better. See the tree drawings I love by forest artist Anna Widen.

By sending me your tree you agree to its use in the book and that I can alter, crop it…etc. to fit with the book’s design. (I will be respectful). I may not be able to use all the drawings sent in but I will let you know! Thank you!

Hey! Where did you get the bright idea of printing your experience with trees on Paper?
When during your 365 days with trees, did you have this epiphany?
How about making an E-Book and ask for donations for it,
or just a PDF download… then people can be involved in the awareness of deforestation.
Not be involved in Deforestation or the highly energy consumptive Recycling industry.
Also I don’t think drawings of trees is a replacement for a trees… art on trees…. or trees alive…
Such a hard choice to make!
It’s an excellent point. I hope to release an ebook version and I’m also looking into wheat chaff paper. http://stepforwardpaper.com/
It’s conciderably more environmentally friendly than regular paper. The Step forward paper does contain 20% tree pulp at the moment. I want to create a book so when there’s a collapse of ‘civilisation’ – my book will still be readable. You also have to take into account the environmental impact of ebooks. There is infrastructure and pollution that goes hand in hand with any digital medium too.
Thanks again!
