Created in colloboration with graphic design studio Abby+Owen, this colouring sheet forms part of an children's activity pack, celebrating the new Ancient Egyptian exhibition at Dorman's Museum, Middlesbrough. Being half-Egyptian myself I was keen to accurately reflect the feeling of a traditional Egyptian "souk"/bazaar, through busy patterns and merchandise stacked high. The characters wear outfits commonly worn by Egyptian fellaheen throughout centuries, with the shopkeeper inspired by liquorice water sellers that still operate in Egypt's bazaars today.
