| Steve Brodner has been a satirical illustrator
for 27 years. He was born in Brooklyn, NY in 1954. Upon graduating
Cooper Union in 1976 he got a cartooning job on a small newspaper,
The Hudson Dispatch, in Union City, New Jersey. In 1977 The New
York Times Book Review began tapping him for illustration assignments.
This launched his freelance career. In 1979-82 he published his
own journal, The New York Illustrated News. In 1981 he became
a regular contributor to Harper's magazine with the monthly feature,
"Ars Politica". In the 1980's more magazines ask him
to contribute regularly. These included the National Lampoon,
Sports Illustrated, Playboy and Spy. In 1988 Esquire brought
him in as an unofficial house artist. It was there that he did
portrait caricature, art journalism and a back-page political
cartoon, "Adversaria". Throughout the 1990's his caricatures
of pop and political culture have appeared in every major publication
in the United States |
