Shooting the video River Running is taken from the EP ‘2+2=4’. Beautifully shot in Upstate New York the music video visually aligns itself with the song’s storyline: comparing a child becoming an adult to a stream becoming a river, and how we must try to stay true to our course. This music video is a real highlight […]
‘My First Sketch’. I recently rekindled a 30-year friendship. After living in Toulouse, France for two years and barely speaking English, I started my language studies at South Bank Polytechnic (now University). Despite the excitement of studying, living in England’s capital and meeting new students in our Halls of Residence, I did miss French. Returning […]

I recently met up with South Korean sketch artist Uniquelab to ask him about his work; his love of lomography, manga art and animation; and whether there is a difference between the ‘photographic’ eye and the ‘sketch’ eye. For those new to a growing art and music community called T489 Original Acoustic Music, Sean – as he likes […]
There are art communities. There are music communities. There are even art spaces where music is performed, and there are music venues that display art. I had a dream of something different: not only that two creative mediums would exist under one roof, but that they would truly be collaborative in design. Perhaps […]
Ivan Bradauskas, stands out in an Instagram crowd. Where some black and white photographs can be flat in tone, depth and engagement, Ivan’s work does quite the opposite. Ivan recently chatted to Beauty In The Aye’s Kathy Muir. BITA: Instagram is your preferred site for displaying your photography. Your work is mainly monochromatic, shots, often […]
