Deborshee Gogoi

Deborshee Gogoi is an animal cartoonist from Tinsukia district, the eastern part of Assam. The district is well known for its rich biodiversity, ethnic diversity and natural resources. His penchant for wildlife began at an early age, when he was exploring the Bherjan forest by bicycle, just 2 km from his home.

He thinks that drawing is one of those creative mediums that can attract the public’s attention and make them smile while reflecting on the various environmental and social problems that he would otherwise have ignored.

Deborshee has created drawings and illustrations for organizations such as Bombay Natural History Society, Oil India Limited, Aaranyak, State Bank of India, OneforBlue, Zigzag India Tours and HEAL to name a few. His cartoons appear regularly in “Horizon” of the Assam Tribune.

Currently, he is an assistant professor in the Department of Commerce at Digboi College.
