A life of a Turk!

45 Saniyede bir Türk'ün Hayatı from mscank on Vimeo.

Even though it looks like a life cycle, unfortunately it is also a life of many Turkish people. The culture pushing you to stay in this cycle.

Some Turkish followers might know him, Mscank.
He has some brilliant stop-motion videos, worth seeing several times.

The 99 – Islam inspired Comic Series!

In "THE 99," Naif Al-Mutawa's new generation of comic book heroes fight more than crime -- they smash stereotypes and battle extremism. Named after the 99 attributes of Allah, his characters reinforce positive messages of Islam and cross cultures to create a new moral framework for confronting evil, even teaming up with the Justice League of America.

I would like to see this animation. 99 characters in unique ways could be really rich background. And hearing the writers and producers made me really excited!

Coming this Ramadan!

Love & Theft! - Award winning short animation

This is a fluid animation, drawing flows away with the music. It is really good integrated with the music. Really nice to watch! The video was inspired from Bob Dylan album of the same name. Duration is around 6 min. You won't be disappointed, and you will see many familiar faces.

"And I'm still carrying the gift you gave,
It's a part of me now, it's been cherished and saved,
It'll be with me unto the grave
And then unto eternity."
(Bob Dylan)

Art of Joakim Ceder

Luckily, he made a comment on a bookshelf that I posted and I find the chance to see his works. He is a young artist from Stockholm, Sweden with full package of artistic tools. He is a musician, an illustrator, a painter and an animator ( and possibly many more ). His work is really good, you can check for more from his website, but I am posting only two beautiful paintings and a video of his.

Let the kid live

Because he is the only part that enjoys most of it. His world is far better than mine, even though we share most of our life.

Thank you Disney, with all my sincere

Remember "Procrastination" video I mentioned you

This is also from Lev Yılmaz, one of the favorite illustrators of mine.
His galler is a must-watch. All of them short, all of them you, all of them me.

You won't be sorry.

Next generation is so lucky

One does not sing for the end

You probably heard many times, maybe it is becoming old, and you are totally agree on the result, but you'll pursue it till the end. I'm not sure if I can sing or dance when the music is played because I can't find necessary power most of the time, but if you can do it, just pull me and at least for one song let me sing along!

Pixar is the best thing happened to us for years,
they are not making animation
they are distributing warm smiles
and I say it is cheap!
