Jeff Koons

Jeff Koons is a really important designer/artist in art world. He is known for his reproduction in banal objects, such as balloon animals produced in stainless steel with mirror finish surfaces. His works are being sold for very expensive amounts. Some people see his work as pioneering and of major-art historical importance, and some dismiss his work as kitsch: crass and based on self-merchandising. For my opinion, he is really creative and different. I love his work.

Also I found a link, explaining a video game, which targets to kill Koons and his art work.

Moova

In Turkey, we have a new milk brand named "Moova", that I first discovered while I was watching advertisements on the television. I thought that it was very different form the other milk brands' advertisements. It is a very colorful advertisement with a lot of purple and orange in it. The cows are not real cows nor with their real colors. They look like they have cut from orange cartoons. This is why I bought a cartoon of milk last week and I really liked the taste and the design of the cartoon! I was actually not drinking milk a lot for a very long time, but with Moova, I want to drink milk. This is not a commercial for Moova;)

Mary Blair

21 October was Mary Blair' 100th anniversary. She was a very talented and inspirational illustrator and a Google doodle was designed for her on 21 October 2011 to commemorate it, so I decided to put some of her marvellous works. She have made illustrations for Disney, which made her famous. The first photograph is Mary Blair, her self. Above, is the Google doodle.

This design named "Tulpi" is actually a public chair, but first of all you have to open the petal of the tulip to sit on it:) I think this design is so smart.

Beyoglu

I'm in Istanbul now and I know that I'm not going anywhere for quite a long time. Tomorrow my school starts, but before that I'm making trips in here to take some photos, see different places like museums, cafe-restaurants or shops.

I decided to go to Beyoglu with one of Istanbul's famous boats and took some photos.

More over, I went to see Pera Museum (http://en.peramuzesi.org.tr/), where an exhibition called "Present Times" is continuing. It is the exhibition of the projects of Anadolu University Faculty of Fine Arts students (2010-2011). I really liked it and think that the students of the university's students are very creative and successful.

After visiting Pera Museum I walked down Beyoglu, where a lot of student were shouting. I actually thought that something was wrong, and there was a bad situation, but later on I realised that it was only a miting, which they were shoutin for their own rights.

Experiment of Light

I literally played with lights, to take unique photos in İstanbul this time, but in an appartment. In the apparment, which was my friend's, he has a clock which you can see it after reflecting it on a wall, so you need a little bit of darkness. It really inspired me, so I started to take photos and make some kind of experiments with lights.
