Humour in Verse by Annie French (1872-1965)

French was one of the "Glasgow Girls," a group of women who studied at the Glasgow School of Art and subsequently worked in the city around the turn of the 20th Century. This appears to have been a sketch and scrapbook, filled with words and images both drawn and pasted in. French described it on the title page as "JINGLES/ OVER/ THE/ YEARS."

A Splash of Colour: Reimagining Belle and Sebastian Album Covers

Hey, fellow music lovers of the Tumblrverse! I'm bursting with excitement to share: I've embarked on a journey of re-colourising Belle and Sebastian's album covers, and the results are simply breathtaking.

Belle and Sebastian have gifted us with their whimsical melodies and heartfelt lyrics, creating a musical universe that feels like a warm embrace. But what if we could infuse their album covers with a vibrant array of natural colours, mirroring the beauty of their sound?

That's exactly what I set out to do. Armed with a palette of hues and an unwavering passion for their music, I meticulously reimagined each album cover, breathing new life into these cherished artworks.

Witnessing the transformation unfold is like stumbling upon a hidden treasure. The original artwork takes on a renewed vitality, as if the music itself is swirling within the colors. It's an invitation to delve deeper into Belle and Sebastian's sonic tapestry and unravel new layers of meaning.

From the gentle nostalgia of "Tigermilk" to the dreamy allure of "If You're Feeling Sinister" and beyond, each re-colourised album cover encapsulates the essence of Belle and Sebastian's musical universe. The subtle nuances of their lyrics and melodies find resonance in the carefully selected shades and tones.

My hope is that these re-colourised album covers will inspire you to revisit the music, to let the colours guide you on a visual and auditory journey. Let's celebrate the artistry of Belle and Sebastian in a way that adds an extra layer of magic and captivates our senses.

So, dear Tumblr community, I'm eager to hear your thoughts. Which re-colourised album cover resonates with you the most? How do you envision the connection between music and visuals? Let's come together and revel in the beauty of art and music!

Here's to the captivating melodies of Belle and Sebastian and the power of artistic reinvention. Stay inspired, my friends! 🎨🎶

Back in January, I was incredibly lucky to be invited back to my university to give a Professional Practice talk. I talked about my experience working in Film/TV in Costume and put together a presentation explaining the costume department from what I’ve learned so far. So here is the presentation with some speaker notes at the bottom of each page. Hopefully this will be useful for any students or anyone interested in Costume for Film and TV.
