The Bushanos

By Steve Brodner | Created: 2003

The Bushanos

“For me caricature is part of what goes on in illustration: finding essences that are useful in storytelling. The exaggeration is not the destination but rather the train you take to get there. What will you find to help you make your point?”

A parody of television’s famous mafia family, The Sopranos, this image features all of the leads as members of the George W. Bush family and administration. “At one point it seemed famous TV families were too similar to keep straight,” Brodner said.
