All artists love their artworks be seen by people, so when an artist wants to publish a book he tries to make a beautiful and colorful book that people love it but  it's price will become more. Many people don't have money to buy expensive books, so few people who buy it.

Calendars are samples of my artworks that are cheaper and I can show my artworks to people more easily. Calendars are an excuse to supply artworks. I have 4 calendars ready to publish this year.

It's very interesting. It's like a battery that gives me energy! These reactions make me feel happy and work better. I went to a supermarket with my wife yesterday, an 8 years old child came and asked me : " Are you Kambiz Derambakhsh?" I said: " Yes." He said: " I love your artworks."

After a few minutes his mother came, she was wearing veil. It means that I have advocates in all society people. I haven't find these viewers easily. 

In my exhibition in " Abrisham Gallery" a child about 10 or 11 years old came and took picture from my artworks with his tablet. His mother said: " He loves your artworks and he bought some of your artworks before and he want to buy another artwork by you that costs 3 million Tomans.

I feel happy when I see different generations love my artworks. I saw children come to me and say: " My grand mother or grand father bought your book 50 years ago and gave it to me for signing. It's interesting that their grand children are lovers of my artworks now. 

I'm 73 years old now, I've seen different people with different ages. When I see 80 percent of viewers of my artworks are young people I become happy and I feel I was successful to communicate with them.

When I was a child my father listened to old music and showed me old films, but I couldn't communicate with them, but now that I see young people come to visit my exhibitions or collections of my artworks or take selfie photos with me, I feel happy. This is so interesting that makes money less important for me, life passes any way, but what is important is this relation that gives me happiness and energy.

Another important thing is being confirmed by important artists and people. You know that such people don't confirm the others easily, For example when Ahmadreza Ahmadi told me I'm like Rois Royce it was really nice for me ( laughing).

Yes, very much. Ahmadreza is my old friend. We lived in the same street.

One of my specialty is that I'm not jealous. Every body knows that unfortunately some artists are very jealous and talk bad words about each other. I'm always available and this is one of my specialties, I tried to be present in my last exhibitions, some artists don't go to their exhibitions even one day, This is a relation between me and people, because I worked for them and I love to know their idea. People want to see the artist, take photo with him and when the artist is not present they don't feel good, so I tried to go to my exhibition every day, I became tired, but I loved to see people and take selfie photos with them. It took long time for me to reach home and when I reached home I start to work again.

I feel natural about death, and I think it's something like birth. When I think about birth I don't remember anything about how I was born . Death must be the same.

When I saw death of my father, mother or my friends I didn't become upset, because my sadness didn't change anything. My sadness is different, but I'm not aware of it's futility. I know it's vain and useless. Dead people will never come back, but people we love will never die. They are always alive and we think about them. We always love them and remind them. If we think so, they will be always alive.

Even the most famous artists has felt this situation it's natural for every one. we just have to tolerate and artist can't show himself happy by force. It's like a period that have to be passed. It happened to me a few times, because I'm so busy I don't have time to think about such situation. It's my mood and I always make other people happy. Many people come to talk to me when they are upset and when they are going they say: " Now I feel better."

I'm kind and try to be kind with other people, even those people who need money come to me. I'm not a rich man but I try to help other people. I'm intrinsically born with this mood. ( smiling) Some of my friends tell me: " Your works in one place, you yourself on the other place!" It's one of the best words I've heard about myself.

I lived 24 years abroad. It was a mandatory immigration. I used this immigration to improve myself. I didn't passe my time useless by making barbecue and thinking about Iran. Most Iranian make such situation and say bad words about Iran and when they come back to Iran say bad words about other countries, but ordinary immigration is different.

Some people think that all the problems will be solved by immigration, and they will have happy time there, but it's different because when you go to other country you have to work day and night to earn money, In the last years even European people want to immigrate to other countries. I know many European who immigrated to Australia, India,..... Living in Europe is hard. Iranian know there by TV and they think every body wears nice clothes , sings and dances all the time and they don't do hard working, but living in Europe is in a different way.

Tourists that go there for a short time see the beauty of there and they say: " Oh my god, here is really nice." The reason is that they had enough money, they went to hotel and eat good food, they bought dresses and came back to their country. They don't feel the hardness of working and earning money there, They haven't seen their bad behavior and didn't feel humility there. Sadegh Hedayat killed himself because he couldn't tolerate these problems. It's very hard. Although some people have lots of money before and after revolution they don't need to work because they have enough money, They can come back in Iran when ever they want.

I want to say an example: " it's about Iraj Pezeshkzad writer of Daei jan Napoleopn. We were colleagues in Ferdousi magazine. He wrote satirical essays and I drew for them. 20 years ago they've celebrated his birthday in Paris. I heard that his friends bought a shaving machine for his birthday gift, He said : " oh , my god. where can I put this?"

He meant that his apartment is so small that has no place to take this machine. We always think famous people have good life abroad. but most of them live in small apartments and earn money by hard working. I had many hard times there.

In out time learning is just by seeing and hearing. I think the time has ended that a master taught a lesson one year in a university. Now some children have more knowledge than their fathers. They've learned many things from media and internet that many MA students don't know. It's the time that teaching must be change. when people pass their life in traffic of paying tuition, they learn nothing.

In fact today's world just comes by experience. nothing will be obtained without working. It's important to follow others works and see what's going on the world or check their past.

Sometimes happens that you have a project in your mind and you say how beautiful it is, but you find out that this project has been made before and every body knows it, but you didn't know any thing about it and your artwork becomes worthless.

It depends on the artist, because it's the power of people, It's possible to reach to my technical ability but what can't be learned is idea, thinking and creativity. It must be in artist's mind ,but it can help him to think. It can be like a class for him.

A professional artist can be understood by a glance. When you worked for 50 years, you'll become professional and you can find out immediately. It doesn't need to be analyzed. You'll understand immediately.

The most important thing for me is innovation, because I've seen different things before. When I see an artist made an innovative artwork I can understand immediately, and I can find out which artwork is good and which one is bad. Both in idea and performance. Most of the time one of them is good not both, but the other one has problem. It's few time that both are good.

Unfortunately when somebody is known as cartoonist, everybody knows him different from other artists like painters, sculptures,... but in other countries it's different. They give importance to such artists. Many museums are specially for caricature. for example in Brazil, Swiss, Australia, Germany ,... they have caricature big museum.

In Bulgaria it's 50 years that they have a great caricature exhibition, Charlie Chaplin's artworks in cartoon can be seen there.

Artworks of Chaval, Bosc, Fellini and many famous cartoonists are in Gabrovo caricature Museum in Bulgaria and some of my artworks are also there. But we don't have any special museum for caricature. we had great cartoonists before and we have good cartoonists now. One of the city sights in Bulgaria was that museum and they took tourists by bus to see that place and showed their artworks. The interesting thing was that my artwork was on the wall. Museum responsible introduced me and one of the tourists came and asked me: " We didn't think Iran has such a great cartoonist!!"

We don't have such places. We have graphic museum now, but I don't think any graphic designers go to see it because it's not in an accessible place. It has a beautiful building but it's a little far. Such places should be easy to reach, All big city's museums are in accessible places. We have many cultural centers in Tehran but most of the time they are closed, or they are just open in special occasions. Why we shouldn't use such places in our downtown. Why our artists don't have atelier? In France they give atelier to many Iranian and foreign artists. They were big buildings with great ceilings. Why we don't give such places to our artists?  I still work on a small table that have place just for A3,A4 papers. Why should I take my tableau to my friend places that have big rooms? I've seen many young artists that work in kitchen or bathrooms because their parents are old and can't tolerate the smell of color and don't let them to work in the room. 
They don't have money to rent an atelier. They have to pay lots of money for renting an atelier. We have many empty places in city that are closed and some open places that we don't have permission to use. Suppose Laleh Park is very big. It has many places that can be used for artist's working. In Germany artists can pay small rent and have atelier. An artist can work better and he can concentrate on his artwork if he has an atelier.

I don't have any empty place for working in my home. I have lots of books and tableau that I can hardly find an empty place for working. It's really bad.

I've passed all the problems but something must be done for the young artists. The artists that are in the beginning of their working.
