hello from the void

I've recently checked in to find several messages regarding Crossing the Bridge and I want to thank you so, so much for your kind words. It means everything to me that my little project resonated with others out there. Depression can be so isolating, but I see you. It's hard, it hurts, and it's lonely. Sometimes we put on a face of functioning and sometimes we can't even do that, but there's nothing unworthy or unlovable about us. I love you all, thank you for loving my comic. I'm genuinely sorry I was never able to print it, that's one of my bigger regrets.

Since leaving tumblr, I've ended my illustration career. I still make art but I don't post it anywhere, so I'm sorry to say the links in the last post as to where to find me are not accurate. Perhaps someday I will find a platform that feels appropriate to share on again.

I was never able to gain the professional traction I needed to succeed beyond barely keeping my head afloat on commissions, and the pressures and stresses of posting online as it exists today were too much for me to manage in a healthy way. So changes were needed, as is often the case. It was valuable to me to check my messages here and remember that I did have an impact as an artist and for that I am deeply grateful. There may be a place for me again someday.

All my love, ALL my love, tumblr. <3

Istanbul Hatirasi: Köprüyü Gecmek

I watched this documentary yesterday and it just filled me with nostalgia. Not only the scenes and editing was really interesting to watch, but also the selection of music pieces and musicians was a really good collection that represented 2005. It has been almost 20 years since the movie was made, and you can see how people changed, the city changed, but at the same time there is this feeling that stayed the same.

One thing that caught my attention was how people in turkey defined themselves a lot with this bridge metaphor. Being from turkey already means that you are born with an identity crisis in the context of the world. No one know if you are asian, european, or middle eastern. Everyone has their opinions about turkey and turkish people. And even if it has been overly used metaphor from today's perspective, it was interesting to see what being a bridge meant for people, how they identified with it.

I definitely suggest this film!

Crossing the Bridge

There is a moment in the awful skid of metal in front of you on this two lane bridge when the gold suv loaded with two kids in the backseat, maybe a small dog, a chihuahua asleep perhaps, in the middle, a mom and dad in front, maybe-maybe not talking-arguing, a cargo carrier on top, would just open up and spill all their clothes in rainbows, the arch descending allowing you to drive through…
