10 YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And this is the day!........Today is 10 years since I became painter for Corvus Belli,
a long way with a difficult start, where I bet my future on a small company from,
Cangas with only 3 employees, little relevance and very low commecial power
(These were very hard times indeed and those present them know of what I talk about)
but with great dreams and the illusion to become one of the best companies in the sector
Still remember the day I decided to became part of the project that Corvus Belli was.
When friends, family, aquientances...those whom did not believed on my dreams said
“...and you’re going to earn a living painting little toy soldiers???! It would be better
to have a proper job”
Also some of the so called “professionals” of the sector at the time did not believed I
could last long. But in the end time as give us all the answer and with hard work and
dedication I could say I am making a living out of “painting toy soldiers” . I have
achieved world wide recognition...so much so that I could “pick and choose” and
have always a busy chedule. I am very proud that all this is my own achievement,
What I got I worked hard for!!
Now some of those skeptics congratulated me while others look at my achievements
with jelousy
In these last 10 years I have worked really hard, sometimes 13-14h a day painting.
Painted during weekends and holidays. Painted while sick and also painted with
fissures in my fingers always to keep the deathlines and to keep the jobs on time.
Also I have made mistakes, who have not, but always try to learn of them and
don’t fall on them again.
The company is growing still and may become one of the most influential in the sector
Now looking at all this, the choice I made them in February 2003 looks like a good one!
I would like to say thanks to all those that follow my works via my blog, facebook and

Y llego el dia……. hoy hago 10 años como pintor profesional en Corvus Belli, un largo camino y un comienzo muy difícil, donde aposte mi futuro en una pequeña empresa de cangas con solo 3 trabajadores, poca importancia en el sector y ventas muy minimas ( años muy duros y los que estuvimos los primeros años sabe de lo que hablo) pero lo mas importante habia una gran ilusion por ser grandes.

Aun recuerdo hoy cuando tome la decisión de formar parte de este proyecto donde familia , amigos , etc… no creian en mi,.  frase que me decian “ te vas a ganar la vida pintando muñequitos’? eso no te da para vivir, ponte a trabajar de lo que estudiaste….

Tambien mucho profesinales criticaban mi trabajo y no esperaban que llegara tan lejos.

Pero al final el tiempo pone a cada uno en su sitio y con esfuerzo y dedicacion puedo vivir de mi pintura perfectamente, consegui reconocimiento a nivel mundial del sector tanto de empresas como de profesionales y tener puertas abiertas para dedicir con quien trabajar y puedo decir en voz alta que nadie me ha regalado nada, lo que tengo me lo he ganado trabajando.

Ahora muchas de esas personas me han felicitado por mi trabajo y  otros aun me miran con envidia de lo que consegui.

En estos 10 años he trabajado duro, sesiones largas de pintura (algunos dias 13-14 horas), he pintando enfermo, con fisura en un mano, fines de semana, festivos, vacaciones, etc…. Para cumplir con los plazos y nunca me retrase en ningun trabajo.

Tambien cometi muchos errores y he aprendido de ellos, siempre es bueno ver atrás para no volver a cometerlos.

La empresa continua creciendo y seguramente se convertira en una de las mayores empresas de miniaturas.

Creo que la decisión que decici aquel febrero 2003 fue la acertada.

Quiero agradecer a todos los que siguen mi trabajo por el blog, facebook ,etc…. Vuestro APOYO, muchos de vosotros me seguis desde que empeze a pintar en la empresa y se agradece mucho y lo valoro.

Este 2013 vereis mas pasos a pasos para agradecer vuestro apoyo J

Saludos Cordiales
