Biography: Kaamran was inspired at the age of ten when his mother brought home a Walter Foster-Preston Blair animation instruction book. At the age of twelve, inspired by the work of Don Martin and Jim Unger, Kaamran decided he wanted to be a cartoonist. In 1993, after obtaining a Bachelor of Music degree, he came across Mischa Richter’s book, The Cartoonist’s Muse. Kaamran found he was actually able to write humor and sold his first cartoon to King Features for use in their single-panel comic, The New Breed. In 1995 he moved to New York to study Illustration at Parsons School of Design but dropped out after a year. He spent some time in Manhattan and made his first cartoon submissions to The New Yorker, but had no sales. In 1997, Kaamran attended the University of Michigan’s Master’s Program in Architecture and drew the political cartoon for the University’s newspaper, The Michigan Daily. After a year of studies, Kaamran decided architecture was not for him and left the master’s degree program. He worked the next seven years as a pharmacy assistant and did no cartooning.

In 2005, Kaamran returned home to Vancouver where he resumed his interest in cartoons. He began making submissions to the newspaper syndicates, and in 2008 was offered a digital syndication deal by Universal Uclick. He spent the next year writing and drawing a single panel comic called Bozo for Uclick’s GoComics website. In 2010, Kaamran left Universal Uclick to enter the magazine market. He began making weekly submissions to The New Yorker, and a few months later sold his first cartoon. His cartoons have since appeared in Medical Economics, Saturday Evening Post, Reader’s Digest, The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, Harvard Business Review, and The New Yorker.
