Dirty Bristow, an independent magazine from local bloggers/twitterers/social media/internet fellows Jon Bounds and Danny Smith, is holding a launch party for their second issue on Saturday 13th August from 8pm at The Edge in Digbeth:
Just like Issue 1 I provided an illustration for one of the articles, a preview of which you can see below, or you can catch a glimpse in this flip-through:

For the theme of this issue, Birth, I was asked to illustrate an article by up-and-coming funny man Harry Vale that goes on to detail his experience of doing stand-up comedy for the first time:
It’s a torrid tale about losing my virginity, punctuated by the revelation that it was brutally robbed from me by my own father. There are gasps, groans, and then finally laughs. Worry not, dear reader, my anal virginity is still intact (and available for a modest fee); it was just the truly awful and hackneyed opening joke of my first ever stand-up comedy gig.
