The family also plan to work with Selkirk High School to develop a project to encourage pupils who show a passion for art to hone their skills and nurture their creativity. Whether you are already aware of Scott’s artwork or if you’re seeing it for the first time, there is so much here to immerse yourself into that I think will continue to inspire time and time again.” While reaching out to fans of Frightened Rabbit to request any artwork they would like to share, I was reminded of how generous Scott was with his time and creativity.We were sent many examples of pieces of personalartwork that he had created for friends and fans he had met around the world.

Readers are advised that Living In Colour: The Art Of Scott Hutchison includes content about topics that some may find upsetting, including references to suicide. Much of the artwork in the book was found in Hutchison’s flat when his family were clearing it out after his death. “I didn’t know that had all been kept,” Grant Hutchison admitted. “I hadn’t really seen a lot of it, in fact most of it.” Grant added: “There will be some bits in here that are instantly recognisable and some that will be out there for the very first time, so as with Scott’s music I encourage everyone to immerse themselves in this book and the world of Scott’s illustrations and go get some more tattoos that are not FR related!” I think it’s almost a truer side of him,” his brother suggests. “I think it’s a less edited version of himself than Frightened Rabbit was. And that wasn’t heavily edited.

A limited number of exclusively designed Living in Colour tote bags are available as part of a book bundle from Rough Trade. The surviving members of the band have also discussed whether to do anything with demos that were recorded before Hutchison’s death, though nothing has been decided as yet. After finding a lot of joy and positivity in putting together a book of Scott’s lyrics we always felt there was room for a companion project of Scott’s visual art that could go alongside it. Before Scott wrote music he was already an incredible illustrator and artist. This carried on alongside the band as he worked with Dave Thomas on creating artwork for all FR releases. Having seen his artwork from the very beginning I’ve always thought it should be shared with more people. I think it shows another side to his creativity and just shows off how annoyingly talented he was (I can say that as his brother!). There will be some bits in here that are instantly recognisable and some that will be out there for the very first time, so as with Scott’s music I encourage everyone to immerse themselves in this book and the world of Scott’s illustrations and go get some more tattoos that are not FR related!” Was anyone meant to see it?” his brother asked himself. “Would he think it was personal or private? I don’t know, but for me it exists so for people to see it in a way that myself and the family think is right, then that makes a lot of sense.”

The family of the late Frightened Rabbit frontman Scott Hutchison have announced the release of a book containing the late singer’s artwork and illustrations.READ MORE: New Scott Hutchison book is “a place for Frightened Rabbit fans to go and feel connected” Living In Colour: The Art Of Scott Hutchison’s creative concept comes from renowned album designer dlt (Dave Thomas), who worked with Frightened Rabbit across their career.
