Somalian mural artist Muawiye Hussein Sidow, also known as 'Shik Shik', is the man responsible for the art that features on more than 100 shops, including barbers, tea shops and supermarkets across Mogadishu.
A collection of yawing mouths and extracted teeth, booming stereo speakers and colourful hookah pipes adorn shop fronts in Somalia, a colourful contrast to the airbrushed artworks of big business.
Sidow's work has a hand-drawn simplicity, usually involving bright, eye-catching colours. Some pieces stretch over several metres.
Sidow's father was a commercial artist, who passed his knowledge and skills on to his son.
Sidow, 31, took on his father's business in 1998 and his painting supports not only his own family, but helps sustain his dad as well as many others.
Sidow said he never duplicated murals and that inspiration came from Somali daily life.
Aside from feeding his family and brightening up the urban landscape, Sidow still has ambitions to do more with his art.
