I love the people of this country!

Saw Star Trek last week, then I started watching Sherlock (finally)…
Now I made a first: A fanart of a real person! O_o
Benedict Cumberbatch, you tall, charismatic, sexy man!

Today was slightly less stressed, and I’ve been listening to Harry Potter audiobooks for the past month. So here’s a fanart of Krum.
Crowd-funded full page ad in NYT:
I have not been submitting art much lately and been posting a few photos about the events happening in my country, Turkey.
It’s a huge event, and everyone is supporting the protests, as I am.
So I might not be active much for a while. I go to work, but besides that I spend my time supporting the protests and don’t feel like drawing much.
I found out that, when your country is at peril of losing it’s foundations and you are fighting for your freedom of speech, nothing else seems important at all.
So apologies if I’ll be absent too much.
I try not to bombard my Tumblr about the protests as I have with my Facebook and Twitter. But I know I have a significant amount of followers here and I would like all of you to know about what is happening over on this side of the world. Because it matters to us all.
Our resistence effects each and every one of you.
So please read this and be informed and any support is highly appreciated!
Thank you.
Police throw arbitrary gas bombs to an apartment complex in Beyllikduzu, istanbul
Because that seems to be the way the police rolls in Turkey these days… Randomly throwing gas bombs to areas they don’t like…
Turkish media do not show the brutality of the police. They are showing soap operas and documentaries instead of presenting real harsh situations in Izmir, Istanbul, Ankara and many others.
The Prime Minister spoke today and said that we are (the protesters) are just a bunch of plunderers and he should hang us on trees. PLEASE SHARE THE VIDEOS, SHARE THE PHOTOS, SHARE THE POSTS. HELP US DISSEMINATE THE INFORMATION, HELP US RAISE AN INTERNATIONAL AWARENESS.

Are you aware what is going on all around Turkey?
My country is fighting a war against the dictatorship of our violent government.
