Syrian Influx Unnerves Turks in Border Towns
http://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2012/al-monitor/syrian-influx-unnerves-turks-in.html

At the heart of the Turkish Alevi community’s concern is accusatory rhetoric by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan suggesting that members of their faith are somehow responsible for the bloodshed in Syria.

“Can you believe what he says to Kilicdaroglu? Is it normal to provoke people against a person based on his faith?” said Hasip Yigitoglu, a businessman who owned a factory producing industrial lubricants in Aleppo until the crisis started over a year ago. He was referring to Kemal Kilicdaroglu, the head of CHP, who has criticized the ruling AKP’s Syria policy and urged the government to refrain from making Turkey a direct party in the conflict.

Erdogan claimed that Kilicdaroglu is supporting Assad because the Turkish politician is an Alevi.

“The prime minister is trying to create a Sunni bloc with such rhetoric,” Yigitoglu told Al-Monitor.

Daily Heller, #Dugald_Stermer Graphic Designer — Imprint-The Online Community for Graphic Designers

As Howard Gossage used to say, “The only fit work for an adult is to change the world.” [laughs] He said it straight faced, and while other people might laugh, I always have that in the back of my mind. I don’t walk around with my heart on my sleeve, but I do feel that using our abilities to make things better is a pretty good way of spending a life.

Penguins : James Tormey’s Raymond Chandler covers « Paul Gorman is…
http://www.paulgormanis.com/?p=4144

The exclusion of designer James Tormey – and in particular his early 70s covers for a series of Raymond Chandler books – from Phil Baines’ history Penguin By Design: A Cover Story 1935-2005 has long rankled with me.

I was expecting to find out more about the man whose remixes of Hollywood classic stills led me to Chandler in my early teens. But there is no mention of Tormey or these covers, which hummed at the time with the revival of interest in 40s cinema, and film noir in particular.

Amazing #Game Concept Art by Daniel Dociu | Design Blog | Design.org
http://design.org/blog/amazing-game-concept-art-daniel-dociu-0

Daniel Dociu, a concept artist and art director in Seattle, has been working as an art director in the gaming industry for almost 20 years. Below you’ll find a fraction of his concept art including work for Guild Wars 2. Some of my favorites in his portfolio are the environments that absolutely dwarf humanity. And be sure to note the surprising colors and highlights, making these look more like fantasy fine art than concept art.
