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.
