Folks, can we please learn to zipper merge? It'd make it go faster for all of us. Stop thinking you're the traffic police and blocking others from going all the way to the merge point before merging in.

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. Living In Colour: The Art of Scott Hutchison will be released on 13th July 2023.
