We asked Mohamed how he came up with the idea to create popular characters dressed up and looking like humans. Here's what the artist replied: "If you are familiar with the ancient Egyptian gods, they were drawn as a human body mixed with an animal head. This is exactly the mix I used but in a modern way."

"For me, making art is like a vacation, it is a relief from the pressures of life."
After being asked about his upcoming projects, the artist replied that all of his art projects are continuous projects, which means they are constantly updated. "For example, the 'Real Toons' project was started with only 8 characters and now has over 60 characters and will continue to grow."
