Ahora mismo mi forma de comunicar es mediante mis redes sociales, facebook, instagram, twitter,...una manera rápida de mostrar mi trabajo y de tener un feedback con toda la gente; este facebook se ha convertido en una gran comunidad y cada día crece mas y la verdad que me alegra mucho que el esfuerzo invertido en esta pagina, la gente lo vea y lo comparta, muchas gracias.

My birthday

Hello everyone,
Today is my birthday - 32 years old, and every day I´m older, LOL. But today is a day to celebrate with everyone, and I want to do something special.
I was thinking how to do it, and since one of the most important things that happened to me this year was the launch of my book, I called Customeeple. They told me that book has been a star product, and they only have a few copies left. We were thinking that, for today only, we'd offer a 15% discount on all giraldez products, a great offer for all of you who do not have the book yet. And, if you buy it from Customeeple today, I will sign your copy and dedicate it to you!
But wait, there's more! There is another new product today, the AG mug. There are two different models with the quote:
"The dream of painting better begins with a single brush stroke".
This phrase means a lot to me. Years ago a person told me that, and he was absolutely right. With dedication and effort, you can improve.
I made this mug so that when I'm painting or resting and drinking coffee or pop, I can read those words that inspired me so long ago.
But today? Today is my birthday, so I think I'll take a little break. Emoticono wink
CHEERS!!!!

Gencon 2015

Just 91 days left until Gencon!!! The day is closer and I'm going to be there.
I've planned all my masterclasses and this year's are:
-Two painting demos with airbrush where I'll explain my method so you can see and ask all your questions.
.-Three masterclasses with airbrush + brush. This masterclass is very interesting because I'll explain all the steps so you can paint a miniature with me and pay attention. You don't need to bring an airbrush, Iwata will sponsor this masterclass .
-Two masterclasses on how to paint a new Infinity miniature, at this moment I can't say which miniature it will be, but that it is awesome.
-One masterclass on How to paint NMM. We'll use the NMM set of Acrylicos Vallejo.
-One masterclass on How to paint faces. This year, we'll probably paint a sexy girl
And finally, I'll make a painting demo with the airbrush at the Iwata booth.
Acrylicos Vallejo will sponsor all masterclasses so we'll have brushes and paints!!!
I think in a few weeks, Gencon will publish information about how you can sign up for them.
Also I'll announce something at Gencon...... I have some surprises but not yet, it's too early.

Bye Bye 2014

Just left some days to finish 2014, so it's time to reflect about this year.
One of the purpose more important was learning English, I needed it urgently.
During this year I have learned much but even I need to improve some things but all in due time, practice, practice and practice, it's the secret; I want to thank my teacher her teachings.
Other thing important was the advertisement of my paint book at GenCon, a book that I started to develop at the end of 2013 and this one will available in February 2015, a dream that will come true thanks to an amazing team that helped me.
This year I have been in some events and feel the affection of the people who like my work; I just can say one thing, thanks, it's a good feeling and also they thank me for the tutorials I post on Facebook.
One of the events I liked most was GenCon in Indianapolis,United States, my first time in this country, but before I go to Indianapolis, I was a week in Chicago with Mary, a city I always wanted to go from childhood because I'm a Chicago Bulls fan and when I visited the United Center stadium... my dream came true.

During these days in USA I met with many people Johnny, Dave, Magno, Carter, Bill, James, Jon, Zac, Nestor, Meg, Matt, Ron Kruzie, Bryant, Richard, Joe Orteza, Tom Schadle, Enduro Joe, and a long etc... I look forward to meeting them the next year.
Also this year some paint-sets that I made for Vallejo have gone on sale and in 2015 will go more because these sets are useful and people like them so why not make more?, I'm enjoying to work with them.
Other collaboration have been with Customeeple, I'm designing and painting Infinity bases and the next year will go more products with them, it's a real pleasure to work together.
I can not forget my collaboration with Harder & Steenbeck, their airbrushes are excellent and I appreciate their confidence in my work.
As to painted miniatures.... if you are follower of this page, you know that each week I show photos so in 2015 to be continued, it never stops!!!

In conclusion, 2014 was a good year with fond memories; 2015 will occur with changes in my life and new challenges.
To finish this post I want to thank everyone your support and if you had a good year THUMBS UP and if had a bad year, do not worry, 2015 will be better !!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR !

A year ago

A year ago I started to work in my personal project, my painting book.
24th October 2013 I decided the beginning of my new future, a new goal in my career.
Well, I had the idea but would it be possible?... what do I need?

First of all, IDEA
Yes, I had a lot of ideas on my head and I wanted a good book , a new approach, Infinity has a stunning universe, Gutier Lusquiños is a great writer so I read the Infinity background, it gave me inspiration, I wanted conversions, busts and new world.

Second point, FINANCING
self financing or private financing, easy question, I decided to finance my book myself.
I don't like Kickstarter, banks,etc.... this one is an easy way and I really prefer the effort.
"working hard and you'll get rewards" these words were said to me for a good person years ago so I worked hard and I got to save money for my project.

Third place, TAX ADVICE
If you someday makes a project, this point is very important.
I have an amazing tax advice team, they said to me if this project was possible, if it was profitable,market study, advantages and disadvantages about this one,etc......
I really appreciate their help.

Fourth point, TEAM
If you want to make a good project, you HAVE to HAVE the best team.
The choice of team was so easy, on my head I knew who were those people so I talked to them and they said to me, yes Angel!, we can!, thanks so much guys

Fifth, COLLABORATORS
when I had my book planned, I presented this one to Corvus Belli and Acrylicos Vallejo because I want to sell this book around the world and these two companies can do it.
I work in CB since 2003 and each day I enjoy painting their models, possibly in some years CB will be the number one in the miniature's world.
With Acrylicos Vallejo I collaborate since 2010 and I just can say they have the best paints, Game Air, Model Color, Brushes etc.... so good.
I just have words of thanks, I really appreciate their confidence in this project.

And last, YOU
This book was written for you
You can learn how I paint Infinity models from A to Z, colors list, techniques, tricks so on.......,
I hope you like it.

In a few weeks I'll finish my book and the translators's team will start with the translation so I think that the book will be printed in the last week of December.
Also I'm receiving many questions about this one but, keep calm guys,the day is closer and in a few months I'll publish all information about how you can get my painting book!

Regards
Angel Giraldez

Sneak Peek

Hello

I'm receiving many questions about my painting book and the expectation is large!, thanks everybody.
I saw the statistics of my facebook when I showed the cover and this ad was seen by over 22.000 people.... awesome!
About questions, many people asked me why I don't make my book with Kickstarter or Indiegogo like others painters or companies so the project will be easier but I do not like the easy way.
Also some people offered me their help ( money) for my project, I really appreciate this gesture but sincerely I prefer to make my book myself.
I think that if you work hard and you make an effort, oneself will get the reward.
Years ago I worked from Monday to Sunday, many hours painting, straining and saving small amounts money each month and the way was really difficult but finally when the day arrived and you can see that you dream could come true.....the feeling is really happiness!!!!
Effort, perseverance and hard work are the 3 elements to make real all projects,so this is the reason because I finance my book myself.

October 26 I'll give more information about the book so STAY TUNED but meantime I would like to show this sneak peek for all of you.

see you
Angel
