Farshid Shafiee, born in Tehran in 1969, is one of the most renowned picture book illustrators. He studied graphic design and animation in his hometown and has served as an editor and art director for various magazines and publishers. His extensive body of work includes over 50 children’s picture books, more than 30 book covers, and four short animated films. His film My Dad’s Car (2000) won a special prize at the International Festival for Animation in Tehran (2001).

Shafiee’s art is a heartfelt homage to his Persian heritage. “I strive to be a small part of the rich culture and history of my country, which spans over 11,000 years,” he says. His illustrations draw inspiration from traditional myths, legends, and contemporary Iranian fairytales.

Ardeshir Mohassess

Ardeshir Mohassess — Tue, 11 Jun 2024 08:22:06 +0000

Ardeshir Mohassess, a celebrated Iranian artist renowned for his illustrations blending humor with sharp social commentary, passed away from a heart attack on October 9 in New York City at the age of 70.

Born in Rasht, Iran, in 1938, Mohassess demonstrated artistic talent from an early age, reportedly drawing his first picture, an army general, at just 3 years old. He graduated with a degree in political science from Tehran University in 1962 and soon gained recognition for his political illustrations in Iranian newspapers. His work later appeared in prominent international publications, including The New York Times and The Nation.

In 1976, Mohassess traveled to the United States for what was intended to be a brief visit. However, following the 1979 Iranian Revolution, which replaced the Pahlavi monarchy with a theocratic regime under Ayatollah Khomeini, he chose to remain in the U.S., eventually settling in New York.
