On October 18, 2022, I made this fan art imagining "What if Portishead discovered Ekşi Sözlük (Sour Dictionary), the Turkish social network named after their song 'Sour Times', when it was launched in 1999?". Even though it wasn't 1999, this fan art was the reason Portishead discovered Ekşi Sözlük, as Geoff Barrow reacted it on Twitter short after it was shared there.

I didn't want to re-draw it so far, but exact three years after, on October 18, 2025, I did its remastered version to celebrate the anniversary of the band's historical discovery, as I realized my art style was improved a lot.

And now, as the 27th launch anniversary of Ekşi Sözlük is approaching, I wanted to relive that moment. 💚

By the way, If you want to support a human artist, you found some: I'm open for commissions on VGen! 💚✨️

good news: i ordered something new for my ekşi sözlük merch collection! 🥳

i already have all issues of its magazine from 2005 but also found a special booklet compiling the interviews in the issues. this booklet is nowadays SUPER RARE and i'm so badly happy that i'm finally going to have this piece. now i'm waiting for thursday, the day it's going to be shipped.

btw, i talked to my dad today and he told me that we can build an exhibition corner for my collection in a near future. also, i need to arrange the frame for that big green poster. (the frame has no glass and i have to get one.)

me: *informing people about the structure of ekşi sözlük in a discussion*

random dumbass person: *unexpectedly joining the discussion and negatively criticizing the users of ekşi sözlük*

SORRY??? I DON'T REMEMBER TALKING ABOUT THAT????
