Spotted: Illustrated postcards by Sernuretta

Sernuretta illustrates both children books and mood of adults, mostly women's emotions. Her illustrations are diversified. Some of them are lively colors, full of energy and life; and some of them captures melancholy.  Since she doesn't have one and only style to illustrate, and always find a way to express herself in different style of drawings, her characters are definitely different from each other. Good news, now her characters are available as postcards.

What is Art?

Tips for Artists who want to sell



John Baldessari, American, b. 1931
Acrylic on canvas, in 1966 - 1968

"I guess a lot of it's just lashing out, because I didn't know how to be an artist, and all this time spent alone in the dark in these studios and importing my culture and constant questions. I'd say, 'Well, why is this art? Why isn't that art?'" - John Baldessari

Postcard from - The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

Good Bye Lenin!

Checkpoint Charlie - Berlin Wall


"My mother outlived the GDR by three days. I believe it was a good thing she never learned the truth. She died happy. She wanted us to scatter her ashes to the winds. That's prohibited in Germany, both East and West. But we didn't care. She's up there somewhere now. Maybe looking down at us. Maybe she sees us as tiny specks on the Earth's surface, just like Sigmund Jähn did back then. The country my mother left behind was a country she believed in; a country we kept alive till her last breath; a country that never existed in that form; a country that, in my memory, I will always associate with my mother." - Good Bye Lenin!

Photojournalism: Praying

“Photojournalists and photographers are always confused. We are not photographers, but photojournalists. We record our period and leave it to the next generation. This is not ‘being a photographer’ but ‘being a photojournalist.’ I am not a photography artist. Being an artist is different. I am fed up with this word ‘art.’” - Ara Güler



Allah - Old Mosque, Edirne, Turkey by Ara Güler

“I could not reach a number of men that I wanted to photograph. I wanted to take photos of Einstein, but I was not ‘Ara Güler’ when he died in 1955, I was just an ordinary photographer. I could not take photos of Jean Paul Sartre either, because of my incompetence. Also, there’s Charlie Chaplin. These are important people.” - Ara Güler

Museum of Innocence: The happiest moment of life

"The Museum of Innocence will be forever open to lovers who can't find another place to kiss in Istanbul." - Museum of Innocence 
"It was the happiest moment of my life, though I didn't know it. Had I known, had I cherished the gift, would everything have turned out differently? Yes, if I had recognized this instance of perfect happiness, I would have held it fast and never let it slip away." - Museum of Innocence

"My fingertips touch your blood"

Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera

"Diego my love- Remember that once you finish the fresco we will be together forever once and for all, without arguments or anything, only to love one another. Behave yourself and do everything that Emmy Lou tells you. I adore you more than ever. Your girl, Frida (Write me)." - Frida Kahlo
