Marble and Bubble is a joyful tale about two unlikely friends -- with sad backstories -- working together to save the forest from an evil knight looking for a magical diamond. The form of art form used throughout the story is "Ebru." Ebru is a Turkish marbling art style that has been used commonly in the Ottoman Empire, which originated from 13th-century Central Asia. The man responsible for the illustration is Omer Ugur; he graduated from a graphic design major, and after a while, met Fuat Basar, who taught Omer about traditional Ebru. Omer fell in love with the art style, and with the help of his brother, Ahmet, incorporated Ebru into this book.
​
     The end of the story contains pages of marbling art samples that Omer has created. We hope you enjoy this wonderful tale and appreciate the beauty of this amazing artwork.
