Egytopia is a project based on stories beneath the faces of egyptians since the origins of Egypt's ancient civilization
Until now, as we believe that a picture can describe 1000 words, the best illustrators  in Egypt have made a rendez-vous to deliever artworks that best desribes the tales behind the people throughout the ages.

More than 20 artists contribute to this project each with a significant style than the other, to visualize the beauty 
of the Egyptian civilization through out the ages, along with a decorated arabic typography to tell the name of the character.

Every 2 artists were assigned to draw the same character, and the results were wonderful, the variation in illustrating those characters tells how every artist see the character in his own state of mind and view, and we will let you be the judge of that.
