Helping Out an Old Friend
/A lot of you probably know that this site wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for the owner of the Magic Cafe, Steve Brooks. I won’t get into that whole story. If you want, scroll way down to the month of December, 2015. That whole month is dedicated to my old site, which Steve was responsible for. And if that site never happened, this one wouldn’t have either.
As a thank you to Steve, I would like to direct you to this Instagram full of his political cartoons which you can find here @artistSJBrooks.
Mmhmm. Yes. This is a thing. No. I did not make this. It’s real. Yes, it’s the same Steve Brooks.
Please, I beg you. Take a look at it.
As of now, they’re still trying to get The Magic Cafe back online. With any luck, it will be back soon. Until then, this other creative outlet of Steve’s will hopefully keep you entertained.
As you read through his work, it’s likely your first thought will be: “This is sheer perfection. This could not be improved at all.”
I disagree. There is one flaw there.
I can almost feel the vibration of my entire readership shaking their heads: “No. There is absolutely nothing wrong here.”
But look closer…
There’s no way for the blind to enjoy Steve’s social commentary!
Until now.
I have created audio commentary tracks to describe some of Steve’s greatest pieces. I hope now all people can enjoy his work. Here’s a look at (and a listen to) three of them. Enjoy. I’m so happy to be able to collaborate with Steve and bring his work to a bigger audience.
