We lost one of the best caricaturists of our country, best to me, Semih Balcioglu (Semih Balcıoğlu) on October 27th (I will expand on this later). Elio's exhibition was postponed to a not-yet-known date because of the flood disaster happened last week which 39 were dead in 13 cities.

Illustration Friday - Ghost

I haven't been around the Illustration Friday neighbourhood for a long long time, and to be honest, this one is not THE illustration to come back, but, 1-I am not an illustrator 2-I had fun doing this(and it is the most important thing) 3-I like my name shown among really good works of art :)
