Alper ÖZDIL
BIO
born in 1982 in istanbul ♊️
spent all my childhood (including now 😎) with discovery & experimenting.
both on scientific, analytical topics & literally every kind/style of art.
Starting from very early ages, music & art was an irreplaceable things in my life. I was accepted to a music conservatory at age 6 with 100% scholarship with the help of my absolute hearing but left it and continued my private music education at home which also abandoned very soon 🥳 I experienced almost every possible medium in art, in a private middle school where i also got a sort of private Art Education in early '90s.
I always wanted to be independent so I left all my educations on art & music and dedicated my life to self-educate / improving myself specifically on; art, music, computer technologies, science & philosophy.
However I had to take a break on music & art for more than 10 years due to Social & Family pressure 💀... I had to choose a specific profession for living...
So being a super analytical, thinking teenager that time circa 2000,
i chose to become an engineer and got myself into my first bachelor's university programme Geophysics Engineering (the only benefit was, i met my best friend who is also my wife & mom of my daughter
❤️ )
i never abandoned art, music & creating innovative & out-of-box ideas.
keeping them as my lifetime hobbies.
FAST FORWARD to 2005⏩
Graduated from Geophysics Engineering
I did not choose to work with that expertise, being a computer nerd that time, I completed several computer systems (engineering) certification programmes and I was employed in IBM as an IT Specialist in 2005 and spent my whole business career there (16 years) ending up being Regional IT Services Manager & Global Project Manager for Middle East & Africa Region, responsible for more than 10 countries' IT Infrastructure.
meanwhile in 2010, i founded my -one man- independent game & application studio
Garlic & Mushroom Entertainment. I created casual mobile games & apps from time to time.
2020 was a very important milestone, I released my first music professional album 🥳
Singularity Transformation
a darkwave, ambient, edm, cinematics combines genre-free experimental instrumental music album.
in 2021 I had to leave IBM and my successfully built international corporate career.
so finally at age 40, i managed to fulfill and pursue my dreams...❤️ (NOT)
I dramatically decided to become a professional digital artist
due to market conditions and being a new player , I narrowed down my specialty into children's book illustrations & tabletop roleplaying fantasy game projects
in a short amount of time i became a Star Seller on Etsy
Completed more than 100 commercial & personal Children's Book Projects with all 5 stars customer reviews.
Also we formed -with 2 friends- RolePlay Elixir where I've been an illustrator & Art Director and published our first ttrpg project Carovea Victor on Kickstarter which was funded in 36 hours 🥳
in 2021, i registered myself for Philosophy bachelor's programme
because i wanted to expand my vision to create more innovative ideas for conceptual problems, combining art & my past engineering knowledge & experience
my personality type is ENTP, which makes me a natural-born visionary.
adding academic engineering & philosophy education into that makes it more powerful in terms of finding solutions for existing & non-existing problems and to be able to see the big picture in it's most clear form & be able to combine everything with everything.
i consider myself a modern-time living Da Vinci
in mid 2021 i met with NFTs, which is the perfect place for me to have a complete freedom to experiment & combine my lifetime skills to create innovative & out-of-box ideas in forms of; art | music | coding | philosophy | science & even more skills
my art & NFTs exhibited in worldwide including #NFTNYC (NFT New York) 2024, 2025 , Kuwait's first IRL NFT Exhibition and Art Biennale #WAGMI , Paris #Nabulines IRL NFT Exhibition
