¡Estamos a sólo 6 días del cierre de la campaña de Kickstarter para mi libro y todavía nos queda un trecho por recorrer!

Como podéis ver en la captura de pantalla que os adjunto, estamos muy cerca de alcanzar nuestro objetivo de 25.500€, pero aún necesitamos un último empujón para llegar allí. Actualmente hemos recaudado 22.980€ con el apoyo de 123 patrocinadores maravillosos. ¡Nos quedan apenas 6 días y cada aportación cuenta!

Sé que he mencionado esto antes, pero quiero reiterar lo especial que es esta oportunidad, especialmente para aquellos de vosotros que habéis comprado previamente en mi tienda. Esta campaña de Kickstarter es una oportunidad única e irrepetible. Estoy ofreciendo el mejor producto que jamás he vendido a un precio increíblemente bajo, con el objetivo de cubrir los costos y, además, porque quiero que este lanzamiento sea algo épico y accesible para todos.

Me he sorprendido al ver que no ha despertado tanto interés como esperaba. Puede que haya sido mi forma de comunicarlo, o quizás la imposibilidad de ver el contenido del producto haya generado desconfianza. Quiero ser claro: no puedo producir este libro de antemano sin el apoyo necesario ya que los costes serían demasiado altos.

Pero dejadme deciros que una vez que el libro esté producido y todos puedan ver su magnitud y contenido, estoy seguro de que muchos desearán tenerlo. Ahora, el libro está disponible a un precio de 85€, incluyendo una impresión de regalo y un certificado, todo firmado. Después de Kickstarter, el precio solo del libro será de 110€, y si deseas una copia con un boceto original, el precio será de 400€. Sin embargo, durante la campaña de Kickstarter, puedes obtenerlo todo por 150€. Este es el sacrificio que estoy haciendo para garantizar la financiación necesaria para la producción del libro.

Esta es una alerta para que no se diga más tarde que no lo sabías. ¿Quieres ser parte de la primera edición de mi libro? La tienes disponible en Kickstarter. La segunda edición también será excelente, pero será eso... la segunda edición.

We are just 6 days away from closing the Kickstarter campaign for my book, and there’s still a bit to go!

As you can see in the attached screenshot, we are very close to reaching our goal of €25,500, but we still need one final push to get there. We have currently raised €22,980 with the support of 123 wonderful backers. There are only 6 days left, and every contribution counts!

I know I've mentioned this before, but I want to reiterate how special this opportunity is, especially for those of you who have previously shopped at my store. This Kickstarter campaign is a unique and unrepeatable opportunity. I am offering the best product I have ever sold at an incredibly low price, both to cover costs and because I want this launch to be something epic and accessible to everyone.

I have been surprised to see that it has not garnered as much interest as I expected. It might be due to how I've communicated it, or perhaps the inability to see the product’s content has generated distrust. Let me be clear: I cannot produce this book in advance without the necessary support as the costs would be too high.

But let me tell you, once the book is produced and everyone can see its magnitude and content, I am sure many will wish to have it. Now, the book is available for €85, including a bonus print and a certificate, all signed. After Kickstarter, the price of just the book will be €110, and if you want a copy with an original sketch, the price will be €400. However, during the Kickstarter campaign, you can get it all for €150. This is the sacrifice I am making to ensure the necessary funding for the production of the book.

This is a heads-up so you can't say later that you didn't know. Do you want to be part of the first edition of my book? It's available on Kickstarter. The second edition will also be great, but it will just be that... the second edition.

From Village Walls to Urban Legends: My Journey Through Art and Music

When I started my journey in painting at the age of 14, my reality was that of a small village far from big cities, where the only way to get paint was to send money with someone older who dared to embark on the journey to the big city. Barcelona was our closest destination, and 1994 was the year Montana Colors was launched, available at Game Over, a store that became a hub for graffiti enthusiasts.

KAPI

The store was not just a sales point, but a true sanctuary for graffiti enthusiasts. One of its owners was the legendary KAPI, an emblematic figure in the Spanish scene and a pivotal character in the history of graffiti in Spain. Directly involved in the creation of Montana Colors, Kapi's contributions have been fundamental in shaping the urban art landscape. Imagine the thrill of exchanging a few words with him while buying your spray cans; it was like being in the presence of a superstar, someone utterly inaccessible. He was a great inspiration, and we felt total and immense admiration for him.

Ata Bozaci (TOAST)

But what really marked me from that store were the graffiti magazines they sold. Within their pages, I discovered TOAST A.K.A Ata Bozaci, whose unique style completely captured my imagination. Raised among video stores and movie theaters, his art resonated powerfully with that universe of fantasy and adventure that I was so fascinated by. Toast's creations were like windows into a world of monsters and fantastical characters, all outlined with a surprisingly advanced technique in color handling and spray use for that time. For those of us who started in those years, Toast was a revelation, inspiring many to delve deeper into fantastic art. Some of us, like me, intensely nourished from his vision, carefully choosing our sources of inspiration and our references. In my case, Ata was not only an influence: he represented and continues to represent the pinnacle of graffiti art for me, standing out significantly from the rest.

GOLDIE (Metalheadz)

A few years later, while exploring the world of vinyl records, I stumbled upon METALHEAZ, a pioneering drum and bass record label from England. Founded in 1994 by Kemistry & Storm along with Goldie, Metalheadz has played a crucial role in the evolution of drum and bass, housing some of the genre's most significant artists. Its roster includes legendary names such as Photek, Dillinja, Adam F, Grooverider, and Doc Scott, among others, who have defined and continue to define the sound of drum and bass worldwide.

GOLDIE, co-founder of Metalheadz, has not only left an indelible mark in music but also in the urban art world with his graffiti skills. His musical style is dark yet at the same time blends with the melodic, creating an intense atmosphere that captures the essence of drum and bass while maintaining an emotional balance that fascinates me. This duality in his music has been a revelation for me from the moment I first heard his complex rhythms and unmistakable bass lines. His contribution to drum and bass and art is immense, maintaining his relevance and his ability to inspire even decades after his initial successes.

These three titans have not only been fundamental pillars in my development as an artist and aficionado of murals, illustration, and music, but I also have the immense honor of having them write the introductions for my book. Each has penned a prologue, thus enriching this work that I am currently promoting on KICKSTARTER.

I hope that by sharing my story, those of you who are in small localities and dream of art know that the path is not always direct, but every step, every encounter, every inspiration counts in building your own artistic trajectories.

We’ve Reached 50% of the goal in just 10 days :)

Hello everyone, and a special welcome to those joining our Kickstarter page for the first time. I am pleased to share that we have reached half of our funding goal in just the first ten days of the campaign. It’s an exciting start, and it gives me great hope for what we can achieve together in the coming days. For those new to the campaign, here is a concise guide to help you navigate our rewards and other important details:

Understanding Our Rewards

Not all rewards include the book. The book is included starting from the €85 reward tier. The title of each reward clearly indicates its contents; for example, the categories that include the book will specify "BOOK + PRINT" in the title.

How to Verify What Each Reward Includes

• By Product Name: The title of each reward will explicitly state what is included.

• By Total Number of Items: The description lists the number of items included in each specific reward, helping you understand exactly what you are contributing towards.

Book Availability and Language Options

The book is printed in both English and Spanish in the same edition. After the campaign, the book will be available in my online store. However, it will be priced higher than during the Kickstarter campaign. Additionally, copies from the online store will not include the complimentary print, will not be numbered, and will not come with a certificate of authenticity indicating the total number of books sold during the campaign.

Additional Inclusions with Book Purchase

When you purchase the book, you will also receive an exclusive print as a gift. Both the book and the print will be signed and numbered. Additionally, each set of book and print comes with a certificate indicating the total number of copies sold during the Kickstarter campaign and your specific series number. It is important to note that the print is only included as part of this special package and is not available for separate purchase.

About the Complimentary Print

Only the rewards that include the book come with the complimentary print. The print is offered exclusively as a gift with the book purchase and is not included in other rewards that do not contain the book.

Delivery Schedule

The Kickstarter campaign begins in April, and the packages are scheduled to be shipped in November. To see the entire production process in detail, from the start of the campaign to shipping, please consult the "Timeline/Planning" section on our project page menu. This section will provide all the necessary information about our production and shipping schedule.

Uniqueness of Sketches in Reward Options

No, each sketch included in the purchase options is unique and different.

Campaign Closing Days

There are still 20 days left in the campaign, and I hope this project reaches all those who truly appreciate my work, as it would be a shame for anyone to miss out on my best piece available for sale to date.

Thank you all,

Saturno

Alcanzado el 50% de la meta en solo 10 días :)

Hola a todos, y especialmente a aquellos que se unen por primera vez a nuestra página de Kickstarter. Me complace compartir que hemos alcanzado la mitad de nuestro objetivo de financiación en solo los primeros diez días de la campaña. Es un comienzo emocionante, y me da grandes esperanzas para lo que podemos lograr juntos en los próximos días. Para aquellos que son nuevos en la campaña, aquí les proporciono una guía concisa para ayudarles a navegar nuestras recompensas y otros detalles importantes:

Entendiendo Nuestras Recompensas

No todas las recompensas incluyen el libro. Las primeras cuatro categorías de recompensas no contienen el libro; este se incluye a partir del nivel de recompensa de 85€. El título de cada recompensa indica claramente su contenido; por ejemplo, las categorías que incluyen el libro especificarán "LIBRO + PRINT" en el título.

Cómo Verificar lo que Incluye Cada Recompensa

1. Por el Nombre del Producto: El título de cada recompensa indicará explícitamente lo que está incluido.

2. Por el Número Total de Artículos: La descripción lista el número de artículos que incluye cada recompensa específica, ayudándote a entender exactamente por lo que estás contribuyendo.

Disponibilidad del Libro y Opciones de Idioma

El libro está impreso en ambos idiomas, inglés y español, en la misma edición. Después de la campaña, el libro estará disponible en mi tienda en línea. Sin embargo, su precio será más alto que durante la campaña de Kickstarter. Además, las copias de la tienda en línea no incluirán el print de obsequio, no estarán numeradas y no contarán con un certificado de autenticidad que indique el número total de libros vendidos durante la campaña.

Inclusiones Adicionales con la Compra del Libro

Al comprar el libro, también recibirás como obsequio una impresión exclusiva. Tanto el libro como la impresión estarán firmados y numerados. Además, cada conjunto de libro e impresión viene con un certificado que indica el número total de copias vendidas durante la campaña de Kickstarter y el número específico de tu serie. Es importante destacar que la impresión se incluye únicamente como parte de este paquete especial y no está disponible para su compra por separado.

Sobre la Impresión de Obsequio

Solo las recompensas que incluyen el libro vienen con la impresión de obsequio. La impresión se ofrece exclusivamente como regalo con la compra del libro y no está incluida en otras recompensas que no contengan el libro.

Cronograma de Entrega

La campaña en Kickstarter comienza en abril y los paquetes están programados para ser enviados en noviembre. Para ver en detalle todo el proceso de producción, desde el inicio de la campaña hasta el envío, por favor consulta la sección "Cronograma/Planificación" en el menú de nuestra página del proyecto. Esta sección te proporcionará toda la información necesaria sobre nuestro calendario de producción y envío

.Unicidad de los Bocetos en las Opciones de Recompensa

No, cada boceto incluido en las opciones de compra es único y diferente.

La campaña termina en 20 dias.

Aún quedan 20 días de campaña, espero que este proyecto llegue a las manos de todos aquellos que realmente les gusta mi obra, ya que sería una pena que no dispusieran de mi mejor pieza disponible a la venta hasta la fecha.

Muchas gracias a todos :)

Saturno
