For a year I had the great pleasure of working with the Turkish Artist Alp Mapper
He joined me in January 2020, when I was dog-headed and stubbornly trying to make a 4 hour long series about Turkish history on my own. Alp Mapper was one of a group of artists who convinced me that I needed to stop, relax, and entrust other artists with drawing artwork for my videos. Since then he has contributed to finishing the Series about Turkish history, and the first two parts of the series on Mexican American border relations. Alp Mapper is an amazing artist. I am grateful for all his contributions. And happy that I was able to provide him a spotlight to show to a larger audience what a talented artist he is. He has decided to now go and work on his own youtube channel and to build it up some more. I decided to contribute a little artwork to his video myself. And in the future I may ask him to draw some frames for some of my videos again, or to maybe even collaborate with me across two channels on a future project together. I am happy to have worked with you. I am happy to call you a friend. And I am happy that you are now working on having success with your own project. I wish you all the success in the world. I wish you all the best in whatever endeavors you may be taking for your future. I believe I speak on behalf of the entire team of artists as well as the audience, when I say: Teşekkür ederim!
