About Us
He was born in 1982 in Samsun, just two years after the military coup in 1980 which was one of the roughest times of Turkey. As he was trying to be a grown up, some of the already grown politicians were busy marking young people as terrorists and executing them. In the year 1985, when colored TV. entered Turkey, he met color with "Voltran". Because both his parents were working he had to go to kinder garden for three years, in these three years play dough, crayons, colored papers, legos and his own imagination became his best friends. It was in those days he got himself an imaginary friend called "MISTIK", but when and where he lost "MISTIK" even he cannot recall.
By the time he started primary school "Berlin Wall" was demolished, although he couldn't fully understand the significance of the incident, he and his friends played football with coke cans in front of a nearby wall, which they called the "Berlin Wall".
With middle school came puberty. He met pimples, discovered masturbation, his childhood dreams became deviant fantasies, he got taller and - with his voice getting deeper - louder. He studied Turkish and maths, in a high school which also thought foreign language, although he always got an F in math.
In college he started studying graphic design but he quit because he couldn't adopt to school. After a one year break he got in to another graphic design school, but soon after a year both because he was a smart arse and a schmuck he dropped out of that one too and started working in advertising agencies. Than again, he got in to another fine arts academy, neither he loved being a student nor he got fed up. Likewise his school life, his work experiences were also eventful; under a title which he called "self improvement" he got in and out of many agencies, he claimed he was getting experienced. In TV business, in art groups first he worked as assistant than as art director; in creative advertising agencies, as designer than as insomniac. He also worked as freelancer and he still is.
He had a few attempts on music and film projects and he has professional projects which he plans to do in this area.
Life has always been real but he keeps on living in his own fantasy world with robots, anatomically disordered friends and with colors...
