About

Hi, I'm Evre, a freelance illustration artist from Istanbul, Turkey. I have been drawing since I was a kid. Now I am studying Textiles & Fashion Design in Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University. I am actually interested in the Dark Arts and Retro Futurism but I don't stick to them. I like to try some new techniques. I usually work for children book illustration companies. I love to design characters from scratch, draw mascots and stylish illustrated portraits. So, feel free to browse my portfolio and hope you love it.

my art :: Dark Art
Primarily a product of the 20th Century, dark art is an art style defined as that being "dark" or unsettling in nature. Called and classified under many names such as gothic, horror, metaphysical, nightmarish, and disturbing, it is actually a culmination of techniques and styles. It has been presented in many forms by many artists, illustrators and film-makers. It continues to grow in popularity as a part of the horror genre and gothic, music and publishing culture. Today, it a part of our mainstream culture, crossing over into multiple mediums including advertising, television, film, and marketing. While it has roots in horror, it has been presented in collage, surrealism, abstract, motion graphics, grunge, expressionism, and largely digital art.
