| Introduction | My name is (as you might have deduced already) Nicolás R. Giacondino, but i have been known throughout the Internet as 'Aerion the Faithful'. Upon graduating from High School, i set out to start a career in illustrating for which i attended an Art School in my homewtown of Mar del Plata. However, the environment didn't provide me what i was seeking creatively (although it did help me develop my skills and learn the craft) and i eventually pursued my dream as a self-taught artist. I have many published works here in my country of Argentina, and since 2004 (when i moved to Buenos Aires) i started to get recognition internationally, mostly amongst the fans of Games Workshop's Warhammer 40,000 fans. In 2006 i signed a contract to publish my first graphic novel overseas in the US: UTOPIA. And this is what this blog is all about. I hope you enjoy your time here and let me know your thoughts on my work. I'll see you soon! N.R.G! |
