Our Story
Cartoon Planet was born in a dingy Manama building in 2014, beginning from scratch and with few resources, but with a lot of hard-work and guts we were able to thrive. The company’s initial idea and logo were conceived by founder Mohamed Almahdi in 2011, inspired by Sri Lanka’s lush nature and fresh air during an exchange trip.
In 2013, Mohamed won a cartooning competition run by the US Embassy in Bahrain, which qualified him for a summer workshop at the Center for Cartoon Studies in Vermont, USA. Allowing him to learn from the talented and creative experts in the field, the workshop gave his business idea a more solid foundation on which to grow and helped him get started. Our first client was Wafaa Obaidat, CEO of Obai and Hill, and we’ve worked with many more wonderful clients and organizations since!
Since its very beginning, Cartoon Planet has regularly held community-oriented events, cooperating with charities and non-profit organizations in its mission to make Digital Art accessible to more people.
