carnation

yes, yet another little pattern right here. how littler can it get? can you see anything? hehe. well, don't be afraid. i won't be turning this into the little flower blog. would you like me to change the color scheme to pink as well? i could have a light pink background, write in dark pink and have a pink header. yummy!

i must say i am missing finland these days. hmm. although i'm pretty sure these flowers would be frowned upon in the land of the midnight sun. finnish design loves simplicity!

hatai

continuing with the little patterns. this is another reinterpretation of another ottoman pattern. see how crappy i cropped the image? (hehe that kind of rhymes!) bad, bad, bad... this is again, a small part of the bigger project i mentioned before.

you see i like flowers pretty much! many other people must be liking them too, because i need to make use of flowers quite often in designs.

what do you think? are flowers gateways to 'kitsch'-bad and cheap taste? or do you find them visually useful?

let's see some little patterns. i had a lot of fun doing these; despite the tight deadline, couple of months ago. ok, more than a couple i guess :D they are interpretations of traditional ottoman patterns and are part of a bigger project. i hope it is fun looking at the details!

ahh, so refreshing to be back!!

i hope this won't turn into the-blog-makeover-that-never-happened. 'a snake story', as we say it in turkish. it is said for things that never get done or completed. familiar, huh?

flabbergasted

uh, more updates please! when you don't talk about something, it is as if you haven't done it. now that i am not talking about what i have been doing (a lot!); new designs, new characters, new scenes... you might think that i am actually sitting in front of my computer doing nothing. ahhh, the work that strips you off of the tiniest bit of time you have!

missing it all

serious meeting with a teammate

remember the entry about working with a team? well, that is still going on, full speed. i feel kind of sorry to leave my blog alone in the middle of the internet, but i don't feel sorry for creating new things! it's a shame i still can't post them for quite a while. i hope they turn out nice :) i rarely have time to design some stuff of my own. hmm...

when i am working like crazy, i miss the most mundane things like watching tv, surfing the internet (definitely not for scientific reasons ;) or sitting on a couch staring at the walls. come on, i need to stare at the walls to collect myself! don't you think that is a necessity?

three's a party

the dynamism of working with a team of a lot of people has always fascinated me. it is like you could go on forever! well, at least for a while. hehe. knowing that somebody is taking care of a piece of the huge task leaves you confident that you can focus on your own piece. not to forget the hilarious dialogues you have along the way:) to the team players all around the world!

how do you like working, on your own or with a group?

new stuff is coming:)

every rose has its thorn

assos was, as usual, fantastic. the sea was, again, very cold. and wonderful. swimming there is such a blast! although i must sadly warn that we have seen the tiniest beginnings of sea pollution. a little bit of foamy discharge here, some unnatural and dirty-looking moss on the rocks there. hmm. what a surprise... i will truly be mourning if the assos sea dies just like many others.

but hey, just look at this girl courtesy of assos nature. isn't she inspiring? the golden color, those layers, that ordered randomness, that surface just right and effective for the dry and hot weather. one wants to biomimic :) is that even a verb?

are there instances when you just want to use nature's solutions?
