Earlier in the year I produced some illustrations of BiLE, Glitch Lich and Benoît and the Mandelbrots for a mini booklet about Network Music Festival. The whole magazine, which includes the mini booklet, has recently been released as Something In The Water:
Something In The Water is a magazine that delves into the past, present and future music scenes/clubs/creativity of Birmingham. The magazine unveils long forgotten, eye-opening events, allowing a new audience to understand the importance of Birmingham’s musical history, while allowing another audience to reminisce. Something In The Water contains no photography and is illustrated by talented creatives from across the world.
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:
The first issue of Dirty Bristow is out now and features a part-glitch illustration by me.
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.
