association of ideas

Today I made this illustration as referring to the warning sign "DO NOT CROSS THE YELLOW LINE"" in subway stations and fictional character Anna Karenina who commits suicide by throwing herself in the path of an oncoming train.

mirogoj monumental cemetary

Mirogoj cemetary is very fascinating cemetary park in Crotia. It was created in 1876, and architect Hermann Bolle designed the main building. Though the term "cemetary park"was not so familiar to me before and it looks like so much waste of marble, I need to say that I was very affected by its charm. I am sure there're plenty of awesome pics of it on web but in case... Here are some pics from my trip to Zagreb on 6th of july.

sarajevo book fair

yesterday actually I went to skenderia for buying a pair of sneakers. after shopping, we (me & friendz) had visited sarajevo book fair in a very unplanned way:)

that's sahinpasic (the great) stand, where we could find books in english.

I spent most of my time here

that weird man and his books can show up in anywhere, anytime:D

some little metal works were catchy

I only got this one from sahinpasic, planning to read it... really.

reading - le petit prince

I've just read this very famous book, "the little prince" of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, 2 days ago. I'm aware of that it may sound strange to read such a story book at age of 22, but this one is not only for children at all. It's quite philosophical and says manythings about life, love, belongingness, responsibility, human etc... Anyway if I could have an opportunity to read it first time at my 8 (instaed of twenty thousand leagues under the sea) I would love reading much more in my elementary school years.

Ice cream generation

so far I bacame to consume rather much ice cream, so I thougt that one worths to mention too. in the beginning of 90's these kids were upon the take home ice cream boxes, and still efendiler acıbadem uses this pic. As far I could see from their clothes this pic's taken in 60's or 70's. I think that it's the right choice to use same pic for years that represents joy and pleasure. And also this one probably makes many people recall memories and feel nostalgia.

a short trip on the miljacka (after the rain)

last week, thursday, seems so far away from today. Since those who were still struggling with their final exams were sittin'&studyin' at home, I enjoyed with my loneliness&emptiness on the miljacka riverside:) that means I had lots of time to spend, takin' pictures of some little creatures. The topic is snails and leech like animals and little bit darkness. I think I started to like grotesque, or m getting used to:P

that little dude seems rather cute

a typical charismatic snail... shell, horn etc.

cooperation!

some eats alone

haha :D my fave. selfish&greedy

meaningful...(altogether in nature)

I kept walkin' thru the path. singin' ...under neon loneliness motorcycle emptineeeess....

moon! you are so far :s

but, I got another you just behind the tree:D

let's dive into the sky

weird but somehow this scene reminds me kadikoy shore:s

does anyone need a map? not me anymore!

she looks fanciful

last night 'cause of studying for intro political science exam (for today) I got so bored, that desk lamp and the nail lacquer catch my eye and I had an excuse to have a break, painted and tied a flower, ribbon around her neck. Thanks to politics she's more stylish with these stars than before:P

when to go?

it's still not clear when I will see this scene again. My fligh to Istanbul was on second july at first, than mistakenly last saturday it was taken to another date and today I confirmed it for 7 july.. but still on the waiting list for fifth... for now.. I hope there will be available seat until 6. it's a little bit complicated huh..

does it remind u nicolas jenson and freedom?

In the end of the last term, my final assignment on digital imaging course was to make a work which represents the concept of "freedom", have a designer to present and imitate his style on the work. And lucky me, I had the type designer and printer Nicolas Jensons who lived in the renaissance era and created roman typefaces. firstly, I supposed that I had to create a typeface! but later my dear instructor suggested me to draw a picture using only types. In this work I used some old cliché; birds, book, window and sun to represent the idea of freedom. obviously this one worked.

cutting diaries

when I read my old diary, if I was sad I felt hopeless. if I was glad I found these old days ridiculous. Thus, it was already in my mind for a long time to get rid of this unpleasant time-machine; burning it, throwing into the river or burying in the forest...
I dont remember exactly, it was nearly 5 or 6 months ago, in a usual gloomy sarajevo winter day, I took a look at my old diary and said "this is the day". I took my hand a gaslighter and went out to the terrace to burn it. However this trial failed because of the freezing wind. Afterwards, my solution was to cut all the pages one by one. I don't know how I would feel when watching it burning but I'm sure that cutting it by hand and scissor had a therapeutic effect on me. I guess cutting any kind of paper is always a joy for anyone but this was a great experience.when it is a diary which I've written so many memories and thoughts in between my 14 and 16.
I don't myself even wonder where those pieces are now but in case to inform, I've put 'em in a plastic bag and throw into the big thrash container. Probably they're taken by a paper collector and already became recycled as a newspaper, notebook... or diary..
