When he was young, he moved to Brussels, a city known universally as a capital in the field of comics. The Studio Peyo welcomes him and gives him the opportunity to shine artistically. He published a lot of comics drawings. In 1970, the Derib’s comics hero was born . This delightful work has been followed by other achievements as seductive as each other including Buddy Longway and Red Road. The talented Derib participated positively in the famous newspaper Tintin and Lombard’s publishing house.

-« When I drew Yakari in Peyo’S studio between 2 Schtroumpfs, it was for me a first whiff of freedom » said Derib about this little Sioux Indian as brave as generous like him.

The Yakari’s album has been translated into 17 languages including German, Indonesian, Portuguese, Chinese, and Arabic.

The “Bouzghgiba-Awards” is an original cultural prize which was launched in 2005 by a Moroccan artist and critic-movie Razak Abderazzak . The creator of Bouzghiba’s avatar . He launched this cultural award in order to encourage humoristic performances around the World. The trophy is representing a painting made by him.

Razak who supervises this annual event is a writer. He published a book in Canada (« Au delà de l’Artifex, je dis » Ed. Maxime, Montreal). So, after the third edition of Bouzghiba-awards he published a monographic book in order to make a special tribute in presenting the three winners (Patricia Piccinini 2005, French TV-program "C’Est pas Sorcier» 2006 and Theo Jansen 2007). The following winners will be presented in the second part of the monography. Art painting and bibliophilia are the two fundamentals characteristics that distinguish this cultural and anti-materialist prize. In 2010 Razak had written a new text for theatre titled The Wall and two novels in French language: Le Videographe Justicier and Boumanjel le Gaucher . These new texts have been sent to several publishing houses.

In September 2009, the blog Bouzghiba-Awards powered by Blogger was well ranked by the American start-up in web reputation management Wholinkstome. In 2010 he painted 31 artistic pictures. The exhibit would be shown in next months of 2011.
