We discovered Joel Babicci via the submission. After looking at the work, what Mia and Joel had produced we knew we had discovered a new Blood to talk about. We always wanted to steer away from just covering musicians. Its good to see a makeup artist's name on the cover instead of a model or commercial artist. Not just that, these images kind of hold you close, its like having a conversation with the pictures. We are very happy to introduce the Sydney & UK based makeup artist Joel Babicci.

We discovered Korantemaa while listening to ALT-J’s Deadcrush. It was then when we came across the very best cover done by Korantemaa, known to two hundred thousand of her YouTube subscribers. Since then we started listening to her music, combined with covers and originals.

THE GENERATION MIX

We are 6 months down the road after we launched Beautiful Blood Magazine, the No.4 Issue really sets the tone and the meaning behind the magazine. However, diversity is such a big topic and we cannot give it justice by doing just one story or a piece on it so we decided to celebrate it with one main story followed by a series of online cover stories. Thanks to all the contributing artists for making this happen.
