Mohamed Dalo, 24, is a cartoon artist from Gaza City.

Dalo trained himself by researching online and imitating drawings he found on social networking websites.

Dalo was born with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a severe genetic muscular disorder.

“Some of my pieces deal with the issue of special needs and different kinds of disability,” Dalo told The Electronic Intifada.

Dalo has created 300 to 400 art pieces so far, and had three exhibitions.
