“I’ve been writing this manifesto for the last 15 years, and after hundreds of different versions, I’ve finally crafted the greatest story ever told,” Tree says, ever the modest polymath. “This is my magnum opus, based on real events from my travels around the world. Let this book serve as a bible for my fellow artists in their darkest hour…” - Oliver Tree
