He toured around Turkey, went to Europe, learned English, forgot English, did some publications and published some fanzines. Once a journalist, once a peddlar, now a designer. He walked, halted, designed, had been designed. He was less for some and much for other some. He never liked cars, he doesn’t have a driving license either.
