Hey friends,
Just found out about the results for the Eagle Awards held at the Bristol Comic Expo this past weekend. Sadly, I didn't get an award as Favourite Newcomer Artist. In any case, I'm writing to say a big THANK YOU for everyone who did vote for me. I sincerely and infinitely appreciate it very much.
Who knows? Maybe sometime in the future. Now I gotta better get back to my drawing table if I'm to hope for something like that.
For the results of the awards go and check out the official Eagle Awards Website.
Cheers!

New York & Commissions Update
Hey everybody,
Today I'll be completing another issue of Dynamo 5. And it's time to pack and get ready for the trip. I'll be in NY for a week and hopefully have a great time. I'm really looking forward to meeting everybody. Here's more on my convention schedule;
I'll be attending all three days and hang out in the convention center throughout. I don't have a fixed spot but I'll have signing hours on the Image Comics booth #1407 on Friday and Sunday. The Sunday signing will be starting at 12:00. In any case I'll hang around the Image booth pretty much. On Saturday I'll have signing time in the Midtown Comics booth #1541 starting at 13:00(01:00pm). Besides that as I've mentioned before I'll be joining Rich DeDominicis and Bryan Hitch in the Artist Alley table F1.
COMMISSIONS NOTICE
Meanwhile I've also completed all the commissions I've taken on. So if you've requested something of me it will be with me and waiting for you all three days of the NYCC show. You can find me at the spots and hours I've mentioned above. If you have difficulty finding me please ask about my whereabouts to Rich in Artist Alley or someone in the Image booth and all will be worked out shortly.
If you're interested in picking up original art from me please drop by Rich's table. He'll be bringing a variety of my Dynamo 5 stuff. I'll also have some sketch type pieces with me for sale for anybody who's interested.
I guess that's about it. I'll see you in New York!
I'll probably share my experiences once I get back. Till then, take care.

New York Comic Con 2008 + Commissions
I will be attending the New York Comic Con 2008 that will take place in the Jacob Javitz Center in April 18-20.I will be hanging out at the Image Comics booth (#1407) mostly with my buddies Yildiray Cinar and Jay Faerber. There will also be an exclusive signing with the three of us in the Midtown Comics booth (#1541) on Saturday (see image to the right).
More info on the Midtown Comics' convention program here.
You can also spot me around Bryan Hitch's artist alley table with Rich DeDominicis, who will also be bringing some original art (including mine) for sale.
COMMISSIONS & SKETCHING
I will be accepting commissions and sketch requests before the show, to be picked up at the show. Here is what I'll be available to do;
Commission Sketches - These will be full figure, single character grayscale marker sketches on 11" x 17" art boards.
Bust/Torso Sketches - These will be single character grayscale marker sketches on A4 size paper. This is a more economical choice.
So if you're interested in getting something from me please contact me as soon as you can for pricing and what you'd like.
I can't say at this point if I'll be available to do sketches at the show but please go ahead and ask if you're interested. In addition I will also be bringing some original art and prints with me.
This will be probably my only convention attendance this year so I'm looking forward to having a great time. Don't be a stranger and drop by to say hi. More updates and details on the show coming soon.
See you there!

Hacettepe University
I've had the chance to attend a conference/panel/chat as a lecturer arranged by my friend Elif Varol Ergen in Hacettepe University where I've had the chance to share my comic book experiences with the students. I've really had a ton of fun and talked for a few good hours. This has been a cool experience on my part as I'm quite an introvert and shy especially in situations where I'm the center of attention in a crowd. So my thanks to my friend Elif and all the attending students for their interest.
Cheers!
Cheers!
Geçtiğimiz hafta Hacettepe Üniversitesi Grafik Bölümü öğrencileri ile arkadaşım Elif Varol Ergen'in daveti ve organizasyonu üzerine bir söyleşi düzenledik. Çizgi roman üretimi üzerine tecrübelerimden bahsedip fikir alış verişinde bulunduk. Kendi adıma çok keyifli bir vakit geçirdim ve benim için önemli bir tecrübe oldu. Beni davet ettiği için Elif'e ve katılım gösterdikleri için tüm öğrenci arkadaşlara ilgilerinden dolayı teşekkür ediyorum.
Sevgiler, selamlar.
