¡¡Más Pamuk para mi base de datos biologica!!
Estoy muy contento de haber iniciado este libro el día de hoy, llevaba meses esperando a ser leído pero despues de terminar La Vida Nueva decidí dejar a Orhan Pamuk de lado por un tiempo. No me decidía por La Casa del Silencio o El Museo de la Inocencia pero al final salió ganando el de mayor extensión… ¡no solo en páginas sino en tamaño! supongo que no será muy cómodo leerlo en los trayectos diarios pues no cabe en algún bolsillo de los cargo… ¡prffft! bueno, al final no creo que me importe mucho con tal de leer una buena historia como a las que Pamuk me tiene acostumbrado.
Kara (Black) is the main character in Benim Adım Kırmızı (My Name is Red) by Orhan Pamuk. This is just my first attempt to make a full illustration based in Pamuk´s book, that is my current favorite book. At the same time is part of the development for another idea influenced by turkish culture and pirates.
My Name is Red was my first novel by Orhan Pamuk (who was recommended to me by my dad), since then, I have read two books by the same author (Snow and The New Life), but My Name is Red is still my favorite.
This dying week, I bought two books (The New Life and Pedro Páramo) and the last Heavy Metal magazine. Original plan was bought The Black Book (as The New Life, by Orhan Pamuk) but after large visits to 3 bookstores, I dont find it and pick The New Life instead. The second book is Pedro Páramo by Juan Rulfo a pure literature classic, I keep a very old and dusty edition from the seventies so I bought a new one to replace and re-read.
And I bought the latest Heavy Metal issue because comes with Tempus Fugit, a 8-page story by my pal Abraham Martínez and artist Víctor Cantú. Small sample here:
Also I discover Fluorescent Black by M.F. Wilson, Nathan Fox and Jeromy Cox (amazing colors!) and they have a new fan.
Hi, sweet bastards! Im becoming a little addict to GoodReads site. Recently I left deviantart and as a long life reader (thanks to my parents) I join to GoodReads. Im currently reading Snow (Orhan Pamuk) and The Hollow Hills (Mary Stewart). If you have an account, add me as friend!
Written by Orhan Pamuk, My Name is Red is about art and illustration… and yes, about murder, desire, romance and envy but over all themes My Name is Red is about art and illustration. In a general talk, my father said that in recent days he read this book and intrigued by some scenes I bought the most popular book by Pamuk and some days later Snow (another novel). Currently Im close to finish (maybe in a week) and Im not disappointed yet.
In a small free time I make this over Pamuk photo (found around the web) just for fun:
David Byrne writes a post in his blog titled Planet of the Neanderthals that could work as an interesting sci-fi novel… well, maybe Planet of the Apes was his inspiration.
Aaand… next image is the amazing cover from the second Fast Forward sci-fi anthology by Lou Anders illustrated by John Picacio, I really love this cover.
