Syed Rashad Imam Tanmoy is known for his roles as a cartoonist, graphic novelist
and storyteller. Tanmoy's storytelling journey originated in the domain of editorial
cartooning for numerous esteemed national dailies of Bangladesh.
Tanmoy's comic series, "Rustom Palowan," depicting a local hero, illustrated and written by him, has preserved
widespread affection from children and parents alike, earning its place as a household favorite. Currently,
Tanmoy passionately immerses himself in crafting Bengali fairy tales and fantasy series, aiming to revitalize
these traditional narratives for a new generation of readers in his unique storytelling style, with a vision to take it
to a global scale. Tanmoy's 'Where are the Chonchols?' is a children's book where children can explore 12
vibrant festivals of Bangladesh, filled with colourful illustrations and cultural elements that make learning about
local traditions fun and fascinating. Tanmoy has started publishing chapters of his autobiographical novel,
"Ochin Pakhi," (Strange Bird) that intends to gradually unveil his observations on Bangladesh's socio-political
landscape and reflections on his soul-searching journey. As an author, Tanmoy adeptly navigates between the
realms of fantasy writing and non-fiction.
In 2016, Tanmoy founded Cartoon People, a community fostering young artists and visual storytellers. He also
served as an Associate Editor at UNMAD, a satire magazine. Tanmoy engages in meaningful community work
in his free time, conducting interactive visual storytelling workshops for children in underserved areas, including
Rohingya refugee camps and hill tracts.
