UNMAD CARTOON EXHIBITION 2012

After four long years we celebrated Unmad cartoon exhibition 2012. For those who don't know, Unmad is the only satire based cartoon magazine in south asia and it is running for last 34 years. For last 3 and half decades it is not only pushing humor at it's best but also acting as a platform to unite all the cartoonists, idealisT, and thousands of fans across Bangladesh.

So this years exhibition was a huge success  as thousands of cartoon lovers came and turned this exhibition into a crazy circus! Thanx to our sister concern travel and fashion magazine for helping out to make this event such a huge success.
  Back in 2008 when i first participated for the unmad cartoon exhibition,  i was just a beginner in cartooning and didn't know what i was doing. So now after four years  nothing have changed and as i still don't know what i am doing, i feel the urge to show  some of my ideas and work to people.

Botanist Professor Dwijen Sharma  and legendary cartoonist ahsan habib inaugurated the exhibition. This years theme was "SAVE TREES"
Cartoons by asiful huda, jahid hasan benu, mehedi haque, was displayed at the exhibition. And the Unmad cartoon award forthis year was given to cartoonist shikha.

             save the trees save the world!

            I forgot to scan the original pieces before submission. so had to share the photographs.

                                                    Cutting down the same ROOTS.

                                  This one is one of my favorite. A dead tree thinking about GREEN.

                                                         kill the tree, you kill the world.

                                                                 check mate!

                                                   Fighting back the Urban Monster.

                                        Taking  trees away means taking  childhood away.

Good and Evil. GREEN thinking and polluted thinking.

Few covers from last month

Never before have you felt an urge this strong to be cordial enough to reply to those unread messaged. You see ten Facebook

tabs waiting to be opened, people waiting to be stalked. A buzz followed by incessant rings reminds you of your cell phone, demanding

your attention. Calling up a friend to muse about your procrastinating self seems like the perfect idea. Surely she shall endow you with

useful tips on how to relinquish your distraction and grant yourself the ability to concentrate. The demons of procrastination

strikes you dumb. Every other activity other than focusing on the task at hand seems to beof utmost importance. Every distraction is a

trap, or a spike that shall steer the‘momentary’ break and turn it into a prolonged period of pitiful musings that leads you to no

particular direction.  for more please visit:

my Grumpy-Happy Motherland

Waking up to a freshly brewed cup of morning tea, the sun creeping into the house, an angry Bangalee opens the day’s newspaper and boom! Every last bit of anger in him starts erupting- he becomes unstoppable! Using the day’s headlines as a spring of stimulation, he goes on and on about the sorry state of our country, its lack of system, the lack of safety and the list goes on….and on and ON!
