A closer look

Hello, my name is ABA'z

I'm Ahmad Abdelaziz, a Cairo-based artist and graduate of the Faculty of Fine Arts, specializing in Graphic Design, Animation, and Book Arts. I work at Tahaleb Studio as a Character Designer, Layout Artist, and Comic Artist.

Art has always been my way of expressing myself. I'm grateful that it has become both my career and my livelihood. Through my work, I hope to build a lasting legacy and inspire future generations, just as I was inspired by the artists I admired growing up.

Nothing means more to me than seeing people connect with my art. When someone shares how a piece resonates with them, I feel that I'm not only expressing my own experiences but also giving voice to feelings and stories that many others share. That's the power of art I strive for every day.

ABA'z's favourite design

We asked ABA'z to pick one design and share it with everyone

Drawn live during a workshop where I was teaching webcomics to a group of students, after telling them they could redraw any film or scene they loved in their own comic style. I chose the moment from Twelve Angry Men where Henry Fonda’s character is the only juror standing with his hand raised, saying “not guilty”, a film I genuinely love and have watched more than ten times, with no plans to stop.

I pulled the speech bubble and lettered it in Arabic: ahha, meaning “truly, I object.”

“I actually didn’t know at the time that ahha was already shorthand for that exact phrase. People told me that in the comments afterwards. But when I drew it, that’s just what it felt like he was saying.”
