David llegó a este mundo una fría noche de Noviembre allá por 1977 con un pincel del 0 bajo el brazo derecho y un bote de Gris Lobos Espaciales en la mano izquierda. Definitivamente, eso era una señal.
Doce años después y tras adquirir dos ogros de Blood Bowl (por 900 pesetas!) y cuatro colores de Citadel (entre ellos el fantástico Púrpura Gusano) se dio cuenta de que aquello de pintar figuras era algo en lo que merecía la pena indagar más en profundidad.
Algunos años más tarde, y varios sets de pintura después, llegó a la conclusión de que lo que hasta el momento era su principal afición podía convertirse en algo más. Y así fue como decidió hacer de su hobby su trabajo hasta convertirse en uno de los miembros del equipo ‘Eavy Metal de Games Workshop
Posteriormente, y tras un par de años en el Cuartel General de GW en Nottingham, decidió volver a la madre patria para entrar a engrosar las filas del departamento de pintura de Miniaturas Andrea, hasta que en 2007 le surgió la oportunidad de abandonar el mundo de la pintura profesional y embarcarse en un trabajo mucho más… aburrido…
Después de cuatro años pintando como profesión, este madrileño sobrevive actualmente como administrativo en IBM.
David came into this world on a cold November night back in 1977 with a brush of 0 under the right arm and a bottle of Space Wolves Grey in the left hand. Definitely, that was a sign.
Twelve years later, after buying two ogres of Blood Bowl (for 900 pesetas!) and four colors of Citadel (including the fantastic Worm Purple) he realized that painting figures was something worthwhile to dig deeper.
Some years later, and several sets of paint later, he concluded that what until now was his main hobby could become something more. And so he decided to make his hobby his job by becoming a member of the Games Workshop 'Eavy Metal Team
Subsequently, after a couple of years at GW headquarters in Nottingham, he decided to return to the motherland to enter the ranks of the painting department of Andrea Miniatures, until 2007 when he got the opportunity to leave the world of professional painting and embark on a much more boring journey.
After four years painting as a profession, this Spaniard survives today performing administrative tasks in IBM.
