Tek yapmaniz gereken yazilari bastan sona okumaktir. Yazilari pic etmemek, yarida birakmamak, resimlere bakip kapatmamaktir. Sonra "vay efendim ben hayatin sirrina ulasamadim da falanca aldi yurudu" diye feryat figan kapima gelmeyiniz...fabhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06929344693507686593noreply@blogger.comBlogger122125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034886480988530084.post-87709152101901636222011-04-04T14:50:00.001+03:002011-04-04T14:50:52.312+03:00Fablamaca değişti/has changed...<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;">English? To the bottom please…</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Pek değerli fabırcıklar.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Fablamaca uzun zamandır sessizdi ancak bu sessizliği büyük oranda İngiltere’den Türkiye’ye taşınma ve blogspot’un Türkiye’de saçma sapan bir nedenle engellenmesine bağlıydı.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Bu ve bazı diğer sebeplerden ötürü Fablamaca değişti. Dilerseniz metamorfoz geçirdi. 3’e, 4’e bölündü, bölünmeye de devam edecek.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>Öncelikle Fablamaca Blogspot’dan, Tumblr’a geçiş yaptı:</b></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><a href="http://fablamaca.tumblr.com/">http://fablamaca.tumblr.com/</a></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>Bu geçiş esnasında fotoğrafçılık merakı kendine ayrı bir yer edindi:</b></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><a href="http://fabfotocekiyor.tumblr.com/">http://fabfotocekiyor.tumblr.com/</a></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>Bu genel fotoğraf blogunun yanı sıra bir de sadece dikey panoramalar için vertirama açıldı:</b></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><a href="http://vertiramic.tumblr.com/">http://vertiramic.tumblr.com/</a></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>Son olarak da (şimdilik) dijital ve geleneksel çizim işleri de ayrı eve çıktı:</b></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><a href="http://fabresimyapiyor.tumblr.com/">http://fabresimyapiyor.tumblr.com/</a></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Şimdilik durum böyle. <a href="http://fablamaca.tumblr.com/">http://fablamaca.tumblr.com/</a> ana blog olarak kalıp, diğer bloglara abilik yapacak, onların yayınladıklarını da kendi üzerinde yayınlayarak size duyurmaya çalışacaktır.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Bunun üstüne yenileri de gelebilir ama <a href="http://fablamaca.tumblr.com/">http://fablamaca.tumblr.com/</a> u izlediğiniz sürece, hepsinden haberiniz olacak.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">İşte böyle. İyi seyirler madem!</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">———</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">My dearest dear fabstriks!</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Fablamaca was in a deep, deep silence for a long time but this was completely the result of moving from UK to Turkey and also the ridiculous ban that Blogspot has from Turkish goverment!</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Related to this and some other reasons, Fablamaca changed. Went through a metamorphosis, if you like. Divided to 3, 4 and it will continue to do so.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>First of all, Fablamaca switched from Blogspot to Tumblr:</b></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><a href="http://fablamaca.tumblr.com/">http://fablamaca.tumblr.com/</a></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>During this transition photography had a new place:</b></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><a href="http://fabfotocekiyor.tumblr.com/">http://fabfotocekiyor.tumblr.com/</a></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>Next to this general photography blog, also another blog was opened for vertical panoramas, vertiramic:</b></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><a href="http://vertiramic.tumblr.com/">http://vertiramic.tumblr.com/</a></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>At last (for now) for digital and traditional drawings another place was hired:</b></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><a href="http://fabresimyapiyor.tumblr.com/">http://fabresimyapiyor.tumblr.com/</a></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This is the situation for now. <a href="http://fablamaca.tumblr.com/">http://fablamaca.tumblr.com/</a> will be the main blog and act like a big brother to the others, publish the others’ posts, etc.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">There might be more soon but as long as you follow <a href="http://fablamaca.tumblr.com/">http://fablamaca.tumblr.com/</a>, you will know.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">That’s it.

</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">On our holiday I didn't get lazy and Kasia organized a challenge for me with her good friend (and a damn good photographer) <b>Łukasz</b>. (It is pronounced "Wukash".)</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">As we are spending our 2 weeks holiday in <b>Warsaw</b> and partially because Łukasz is very busy working during the day, we chose a topic for night photography. Fablamaca proudly presents: <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Warsaw at Night!</b></span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Please vote for one or more photographs. As you know, we expect you to choose the best photograph representing the topic. In this case, <b>best night photograph for Warsaw.</b> </div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The photographs are anonymous until the end of the challenge, as you know. </div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Enough words. Here are the candidates:</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />

It doesn't mean that we didn't carry on challenging ourselves. Oh yes, we did! I just didn't have time to publish them but they will all come. </div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I'm going to share our very last challenge from 09.December.2010. When we went to London for my visa application, Kasia challenged me for "Christmas Signs". Any sight of this season, little pretty things come along with Christmas. I said, bring it on! </div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So we spent a marvelous day out and took some pictures. Again they are open for your votes. You will decide which photograph has what it takes. Choose the best photograph which brings you the Christmas atmosphere the most. </div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The photographs will be anonymous until the end of the poll. The poll is at the top right corner of the page. Vote for the number of the photo you like.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Here they are:</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">I'm starting to take part in a new kind of challenge: <a href="http://art-piaskownica.blogspot.com/2010/11/fotogra-edycja-flory.html">fotoGra</a>!</div><br />
<br />
Like every useful stuff, I found this thanks to Kasiko and it comes from this website:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://art-piaskownica.blogspot.com/">http://art-piaskownica.blogspot.com/</a><br />
<br />
They also do other challenges like fotolift (which you need to set the same conditions given and take a picture of it) so you better have a look!<br />
<br />
This fotoGra's topic is "light". I have few pictures which I couldn't decide which one is my favourite, so I'll publish them all. They are all from our last visit to Turkey with Kash.<br />
<br />
Here we go!<br />

It gave me the idea of piggy bank but then this idea let me somewhere else and I ended up with the drawing below. It is also a bit late as the new topic "afterwards" came along but anyway, here I am!<br />
<br />
The message in the drawing is in Turkish as it is a message more towards Turkish and Muslim worlds. It's nothing serious, more like a innocent joke. It asks "Does the money which come from the piggy bank legitimate?". It is an allusion to the issue of eating porke. As you know it is not allowed in Muslim culture.<br />
<br />
That's it!<br />

Yes, I did!<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It's been such a long time!</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It was few weeks ago, I started. The topic was "<a href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com/archive_p.php?tid=16277">immovable</a>" on <a href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com/">Illustration Friday</a>. I had a great idea and started drawing but time flies by like sand in our hands, through our fingers. I apologize from everyone but first from myself for being such a lazy bone! Time never stops and it never will. If we don't make the most of it, it is wasted. I hate wasting!</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">But I believe I didn't do too badly. At least I finished what I started. And now I am sharing with you.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">For <a href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com/">Illustration Friday</a>, for the topic "<a href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com/archive_p.php?tid=16277">immovable</a>", I present, THE AVATAR AANG!</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE-CiyK0F8jbQDqjPPsE5KnMishwXAGgQ3Ujv0BKOO3HZTuY7XnL68gEVc3mVrj4oCFj_7f1nrU2kNy53-nD_x5dPwyZeA13lLzzkuN6TtYVA3CJzQ4OGSAO_iHnlhp3MrmVuwxvLBF4CG/s1600/immovable+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE-CiyK0F8jbQDqjPPsE5KnMishwXAGgQ3Ujv0BKOO3HZTuY7XnL68gEVc3mVrj4oCFj_7f1nrU2kNy53-nD_x5dPwyZeA13lLzzkuN6TtYVA3CJzQ4OGSAO_iHnlhp3MrmVuwxvLBF4CG/s320/immovable+copy.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It was drawn by me, completely digitally on photoshop, using mouse and several photoshop tools and by refering several tutorials such as how to draw a rock, how to draw aang etc. but nothing is copied. For the tutorials, I'd like to thank to <a href="http://www.dragoart.com/">DragoArt.com</a>.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So, that's it. I know some of you are complaining that I used to write and publish more but here is the deal. Drawing or painting takes a lot more time and energy and at the end you end up with a single drawing instead of pages of writing. It looks less but not less valuable. I am merely trying new things. That's a good thing!</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Luckily, what I painted last week is a perfect fit for this week's topic too! But then it wouldn't be a challenge, would it?

<br />
I thought of drawing a cage or something similar in the first place but after spending some time on the idea, I managed to jump out of the box realized you don't really need a cage to be caged. You might get stuck anywhere, any time and it is not necessarily behind the bars. It might be your work, your school, your city, your country and even your planet. So this was the starting point of my inspiration and first I wanted to draw a human stuck on earth beneath colourful sky but then I looked further in the sky and I saw a little alien, who was stuck on an ugly, smelly planet and I promised him that I would share his story with you so if anyone has a space shuttle, they would know this cute little alien is waiting to be rescued.<br />
<br />
There is my little friend, caged by his planet.<br />
<br />

First time I illustrated literally by hand, using pencil for Illustration Friday. First time I used mixed media for an illustration: <b>Sketching, photography and digital manipulation.</b> Another first (and the most important) is this is my first time inking and colouring in in photoshop and I absolutely loved it! It is easier than I though. I found some good tutorials on youtube and just followed the pattern. The result is more than satisfactory! I wanted to learn this tecnique for a long time and thanks to Kasia I gave it a go and after <b>5-6 days</b> of trying, I have my first digital colouring example. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;"><br />

I didn't have time to do any fresh illustrations but I didn't want to miss out this chance to post some of my old drawings as I'm very much a <b>"moon person"</b> and I love the following drawings.<br />
<br />
Here they are:<br />

This one was illustrated for a short story of mine which was inspired after an injury I had back in 2005. The original story is in the following link but it is in Turkish...<br />

<br />
Following illustrations are from the same short story I wrote in 2008 and it was inspired by one of my dreams <b>(maybe a nightmare)</b> about the bad things happening in my country (Turkey) and a lady was telling me it was about to be too late... Again you can visit following the link to see the original story but it is in Turkish...<br />

</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The t-shirts that I promised for my loyal readers are finally ready. You might ask why I say "t-shirts" because the promised prize was for the 10.000th visitor only. <b>I changed my mind.</b> There was a comment for the post that I was looking for the 10.000th visitor, asking: </div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b><br />
</b></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b><a href="http://edward@ury.org.uk/" rel="nofollow">Eddie Ferrero</a> said...</b> <i><b> "Anything for being the 10,001st visitor Fatih? Also, do you know Gevende?"</b></i></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Eddie is a good friend of mine and also my first <a href="http://www.couchsurfing.org/"><b>"Couch Surfing Host"</b></a>. It really touched me when he asked <b>"anything for being the 10.001st"</b> and I thought <b>"why not?"</b> He will be getting a t-shirt as well as Malika the 10.000th visitor. But I don't know about <b>Gevende</b>, Eddie. <b>What does Gevende mean?!</b></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Are you curious about the t-shirts? I thought so! Thanks to Kasia (<a href="http://worqshop.blogspot.com/">http://worqshop.blogspot.com/</a>) and her brilliant idea, we took lovely pictures of them:</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Probably you're wondering what the heck is going on on Fablamaca. Let me tell you. I was invited as a guest writer in a brilliant blog (<a href="http://mothandmoth.blogspot.com/">http://mothandmoth.blogspot.com/</a>) and my short story was published <a href="http://mothandmoth.blogspot.com/">there</a> just yesterday.

</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">But there is one thing I need to warn you about: This story is in Turkish...</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Anyway, I didn't forget about you. You didn't come all this way for nothing. I have something to entertain you as well:</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />

First I didn't know the meaning of this word but then I checked in the dictionary and on the web. Eventually this week's topic became quite inspiring for me. First time I freshly illustrated for <a href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com/">IF</a> and it helped me to understand what a great website and idea <a href="http://www.illustrationfriday.com/">IF</a> is. It can really inspire you.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Recently I'm quite into painting on a canvas (this is my second to be honest) and here it is my illustration for this week's topic. I call it "Ripple". <b>(Surprise!)</b></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I painted this last night after midnight although I had to go to work today. Late coming inspiration can be more pleasurable sometimes. After 2 o'clock I went to sleep happy and smiling. </div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">There is also a picture of the whole canvas for you: </div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I really like painting this 10x10cm canvases. Maybe I can go for bigger sizes soon. I'm really pleased with this one. </div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />

(Actually we are not friends. I just watched his show more than a few times in London and Edinburgh. Anyway.)</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">If you are a good follower (I know you are!) you might know, I posted a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8gCR2Y_yys">video</a> here via <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/fabishko">YouTube</a>, long ago. <a href="http://fablamaca.blogspot.com/2008/10/ingiltere-gnlkleri.html">9.October.2008</a>, to be exact. <b>That video was starring a marvelous street artist, a magician, a trickster, James James aka The Tartan Trickster! (Applause!)</b></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Let's have a look at this remarkable show again: </div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><object height="405" width="500"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-8gCR2Y_yys&hl=en_GB&fs=1&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-8gCR2Y_yys&hl=en_GB&fs=1&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="500" height="405"></embed></object></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Spectacular, isn't it? I watched many shows on streets. Do you know what the most important thing in this business is? <b>Making people laugh!</b> It's all about that and audience's laugh makes a show great. James obviously know that better than anyone.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Anyway, James send me a message couple days ago and asked me if I could advertise his new blog under my YouTube video. I thought <i>"I can do better than that"</i> and here I am. Sharing this information with you and helping an old friend.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b>There is the link you need to click on it:</b></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.thetartantrickster.blogspot.com/">http://www.thetartantrickster.blogspot.com/</a></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">You have to go and watch this guy live! I'm sure you can get some information on his blog about where to catch him but as I know he is a regular in Covent Garden. He says <i>"Don't walk away. If you don't have any money, just come forward and shake my hand."</i> But he is being too polite. After the show go forward with at least a fiver in your hand, ok?</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I've done my job. The rest is yours.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
