Ashif Ahmed (Ashif. A.)
Guwahati, Assam, India

From my childhood I was very much interested in cartooning, sculpturing, 3D designing, product development & computer etc. In my college life I had won an inter collage cartoon competition (1996)& drawing competition (1996). 1st Prize & Best Cartoon Award – In the College week festival (1998). From then I have setup my mind to start my career as cartoonist. I had worked as freelancer cartoonist in many local papers in the year 1995-1998.
I also wanted to show my talents in the field of sculpturing. So I started sculpturing on 6 inch height candle, circumference about 0.8 inch. Which was exhibited at the AssamStateArtGallery on 16th June 1999 with 31 items made of candles and 35 items made of Sandalwood. which was held for the first time of its kind in Assam, North East India.
I was also fascinated by Information technology. From my school life I was very interested in computer & computer programming. So after completing my college I have completed Diploma / Advance Diploma in Computer Application & BCA programme. After that I have joined an AIDS Service Organization as Project Coordinator.
I have been participating International cartoon competitions since 2004.
