         My name is Razie Darzi. I was born on the fourth of Farvardin in 1368, around 10 o’clock in Hafezi Hospital in Amol. (Now they have destroyed the hospital and a clothing store has opened in its place!) My sister used to say that she was sitting on the stairs of our grandfather’s house and praying for a baby girl! Although it was a bit late to pray, but well, God granted her wish! From that moment on, I became the youngest child in the house, my siblings are older than me and both of my parents are teachers (although they are retired now). That’s why there were always pens and books to be found in our house, and what better place than a book for a child to scribble on! That’s how I started scribbling on my father’s books, the walls of the house, etc. from when i was six months old. My childhood passed in Mahmoudabad town until I was four years old; undoubtedly the sea is one of the most important memories of my childhood, whether swimming or digging the yard to find water. After that, we moved to Amol forever. After finishing first grade at elementary school, due to my father’s job, we moved to Turkey for three years.

I have always worked on caricatures as an integral part of my life alongside other activities. Caricatures which now I share with the public through publications. (Of course, if any publication remains!) I am happy that more viewers are seeing it. For some time now, I have been sitting behind my desk, drinking my café, working on orders, and developing the “Mrs. Bolour” brand to make my work available to you dear ones as practical products.
