About this deal

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 thinkwill continue to inspire time and time again.”

Speaking to NME about Tiny Changes in 2019, Grant Hutchison said: “Young people need a lot of help and attention, and it’s something that affects almost everybody. Not every young person will suffer from poor mental health, but our approach is a preventative one. We want to give them the tools and the skills to deal with it, even when they’re at a point when they don’t need them.” 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.

Living in Colour: The Art of Scott Hutchison: Limited Edition Illustration Collection to be released in July 2023

Living In Colour: The Art Of Scott Hutchison is another collaboration and creative concept from renowned album designer dlt (Dave Thomas), who worked with Frightened Rabbit across their career and on the previous The Work. 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!” 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 personal artwork that he had created for friends and fans he had met around the world. A percentage of the RRP will be donated to Tiny Changes, the Scottish mental health charity founded by the Hutchison family following Scott’s death. 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. 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.”

Grant Hutchison, Scott’s brother and drummer of Frightened Rabbit, says: “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.

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!)." 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.”We’re working on another band project which was actually in the works before Scott died as well,” Grant Hutchison added. “It was something he was actively involved in that we put on hold when he died.” READ MORE: New Scott Hutchison book is “a place for Frightened Rabbit fans to go and feel connected”
