Ahmad Mohammad Nady (Arabic: أحمد محمد نادي) is an Egyptian political cartoonist, comic artist and activist.
[1] In addition to his parents, Nady has cited his childhood and upbringing in the 10th of Ramadan City[note 1] as an early influence in becoming an artist.
[2] During this time, Nady started mailing several comic magazine editors with samples of his work and his ideas, all of which were rejected in Egypt.
One of these, among his very first professional work, was a series of adventures called Fayek w Rayek (Arabic: فايق ورايق) after its two main characters, a chimpanzee and a sloth.
[4] Nady joined the 2011 revolution from the very beginning, participating politically at Tahrir Square and drawing cartoons on the spot, inviting those around him to suggest ideas and captions.
He also was attacked by members of the "Popular Committees" due to the propaganda by state owned media,[4] which claimed that the protesters had a "foreign agenda".
