MERT OZKAYA, AKA PIZZA🍕

WHO AM I?

Hi! I'm Mert Ozkaya, also known online as "Pizza". I'm a 21 years old artist and student based in Turkey, a comic book artist and aspiring writer. For a while now, I've been sharing my artwork primarily on Twitter (X).In addition to creating and illustrating short comics, I also draw fan arts, participate in (and sometimes start) art trends, and share my ideas and headcanons about the media I like.A major turning point in my art journey was my short fan-comic "A Letter From: Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man", which received significant attention and support online. Since then, I've continued creating Spider-Man inspired art and short comics, and people have also shown great interest in my ideas and headcanons about the characters and stories. This has allowed my work to reach a wider audience and connect with tens of thousands of followers.

Featured Works

I use Clip Studio Paint Pro as my primary drawing software.My cover art (and similar) pieces usually take around 6–8 hours to complete, from sketch to final rendering.

My biggest goal right now is to draw an official cover for one of the major IPs.As for my ultimate dream, if I can one day reach the financial and skill level it requires, I want to bring to life my original post-apocalyptic, semi–sci-fi universe, currently under the codename Hollow Sun, as a passion project comic book.It's a deeply character-focused universe that I’ve been building in my mind and through small sketches and stories for several years. I hope to bring it to life either on my own or with a team that I lead and work closely with.This is not from ego, but from a feeling deep in my heart: I truly believe that people will love and connect with the characters and stories of this universe as passionately as I do.On a more personal note, I'd also love to someday see these stories adapted into an animated series or film.

Hi! You can access all of my fan-comics and short comics here.

Featured comic

A Letter From: Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man

A Letter From: Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is the first comic I've ever created. As the title suggests, this comic features Peter Parker, aka Spider-Man as the main character, and revolves around a letter he writes to the reader. I first shared this fan-comic on Twitter back on August 20, 2025, where it was well received and appreciated by many people, including Joe Kelly: an award-winning American comic book writer, artist, and editor.You can easily access and read it from the section below! Also, if you're curious about what people think of this fan-comic, you can check out the original Twitter post where I first shared it, right here.

This fan comic was created by Mert Ă–zkaya (aka Pizza990) as a tribute to the stories and heroes that inspired me.
It is a non-commercial project made with love and passion by an aspiring comic artist.I was actually planning to add my other short/one-page comics here too, but apparently I have to pay the website to add more things. I'll upload them as soon as my wallet feels generous again!

My most popular headcanon

I like the idea of Spider-Man's thwipping pose having this kind of meaning and I tried to apply this in one of my fan-comics

If Batman switches to a blue batsuit in The Batman 2, I'd love it to be for a reason like this.
