Limited Edition Numbered and Signed Wings of Angels Publishing Pack Giveaway



This is definitely one opportunity you won't want to miss out on) I am giving away one Wings of Angels Limited Edition Publishing Pack. This is a Promotion Pack that was presented to publishers as an invitation to be the one to publish the Wings of Angels Book. This gave publishers an idea of how the Wings of Angels book might look if they chose to take part in this endeavor. It was truly a one of a kind Limited Edition gift to the publishers. There was only 25 created and I happen to have one left just for one lucky winner of this giveaway.

So what does this publishing pack include? I can tell you from personal experience as Michael's sister, in seeing this close up from that just the packaging alone is incredible with Claire Sinclair on the cover. This Wings of Angels Publishing Pack box alone was hand crafted personally to house the items you will find inside. The box measures 1 1/8 inches thick, by 17 3/4 inches long by 11 3/4 inches wide. Inside you will find a mock up draft induction notice, project overview sheets and detailed book description, a Wings of Angels Newspaper Front Page, an 11 x 17 print on silver metallic paper of cover model Claire Sinclair with embossed logo, a sample of Jessamyne Rose's mock up book layout which includes (2) pages of black and white prints, (2) pages of color prints, and (2) pages of sepia tone prints;  A sponsor sample proof sheets of Claire Sinclair, Alexa Rajcova, Sarah Barton, Rosie the Riveter (features all three Rosie's used for the book, Lexie Weege, Amanda Varela, and Angela Riccio,) which each sponsor sheet showcases 8 different images per sheet; (3) mock up vintage Coca Cola ads featuring Alexa Rajcova, Claire Sinclair, and Kacie Marie. All prints in this publishing pack measure 11 x 17 and are hand numbered and signed by Michael Malak. 

This gives you a sneak peek of what the Wings of Angels Book will look like before any one else gets an opportunity to see it. Just by Michael giving me one, I know I can't part with any of the prints, and just getting this from Michael completely made an incredible once in a lifetime Christmas gift for me. Trust me, you won't want to miss out on any opportunity to get your hands on this. There will not be any more of these publishing packs created.

  2. Well, I guess my reason is that I'm a pinup collector and really admire your work. I was in the newspaper publishing and digital design, am a hobby photographer, and WWII enthusiast, so I know my stuff and yours is just excellent.

    I will appreciate it and save it. You won't see it on Ebay. :)

  3. What a nice layout and package you are offering. I feel uncomfortable telling you how much I deserve to win this, Michael but I will relate a bit about my background.

    Since I achieved puberty I've been a fan of the pin-up. Additionally being really into military aircraft and eventually becoming a military aviator I love the idea of nose art and champion the idea of it at every opportunity. Best of luck with your project and even if I don't win I will certainly purchase a copy at the first opportunity. Cheers!

  8. Hello Michael, Heart2Heart and Wings of Angels fans! I am Vincent and I do feel I want to win this publishing pack... for many reasons. I am a private pilot passionate with WWII history and a warbirds amateur, I love classy 1940s pinups, I love your photography and appreciate your talent, and I must add that I visited Yanks Air Museum in Chino twice and I loved it; most importantly as a Frenchman I have always been grateful for the help given to us by young Americans coming in our skies, over our beaches and in our fields, villages and cities to restore our freedom. God bless veterans and thank you to all pinup artists who helped make the sacrifice of this Generation more livable. Greetings from Versailles, France and Happy New Year. Vincent

  13. I would LOVE to win this Publishing Pack for my hubby! He introduced me to the world of Rockabilly Music as well to the art of Pin Up seven years ago and I was hooked. I would love to win this for him as a graduation present to show how extremely proud I am of him. He is a disabled military vet (Navy, Army, and Air Force) and has overcome many obstacles including PTSD, Traumatic Brain Injury, and other physical disabilities to receive his Bachelor's degree and continues to work towards his Master’s Degree. He is truly a great example of perseverance and determination as well as an inspiration to others facing obstacles as well as to our children. Not to mention, he is a huge military history enthusiast and a big fan of Claire Sinclair. I know that this would truly mean a lot to him and it would also mean a lot to me to be able to give this to him for his great accomplishments. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and wish you a prosperous new year!
    Thanks!

My Associates Degree was in history which my final project focused on WWII. Your work would be an amazing set of work to display.

  16. I wish I could come up with some creative reason why I should get one of these packs, but I can't. All I can say is that I have long loved the vintage aircraft of WWII and I love this photography, Mr. Malak just captures the planes and the models so wonderfully. I know when the day comes that "Wings of Angels" becomes available, it will be something I will spend many, many, many hours enjoying.

  18. This is a wonderful prize that I certainly wouldn't deserve to win but would love above all else to have. I discovered Malak Photography as a fan of pin up art and as a fledgling photographer myself. I may not realize my dream as a professional photographer but I can certainly appreciate the hard work being put into such a wonderful portolio. Another thing that has drawn me to this blog and website are the planes he has access to. I've always loved airplanes. Growing up near Castle AFB, I visited the Castle Air Museum as often as I could and grew to love vintage aircraft especially. This prize would be wonderful to display in all of it's glory not just for the beautiful photography but for the subject matter as well. Don't expect me to leave something like this locked up to be preserved; I intend to frame and display these images so everyone that passes through my door can see and appreciate them.
    Thanks for this opportunity. Nicholas L.

  19. "In no way am I a great or even experienced photographer at all. However I am a true admirer of your work on multiple levels. It's a rare case these days that you find true artistic talent when it comes to pinup photography. Many attempt it and even more don't succeed because of one thing in particular. They forget the "class" in the photo. They throw together a model, some vintage clothing, a suggestive pose and feel they have done a good job. It's neither classy nor timely. This in particular is what sets you apart an makes you a top notch photographer. You have an unbelievable attention for detail where it truly matters. You are able to make these pinup photos and bomber era work truly classic and timely as they should. Whether it's the period correct fighters and bombers in the background or the poses that aren't solely attempting to be "sexy" but truly classy as well. It's these details that give the viewer the ability to get lost for a minute in another era and really experience the photo rather than just "see" it. Your photography is top notch and in a league of its own.

    Coming from a family with several ties to World War Two I have a particular interest alone in the historical aspect regarding bomber artwork and the culture that was behind it. On one side of the family I had a grandfather in the 1st tank division and fought with Patton, where when stationed in Germany after the war is where my Grandfather of te U.S. Army met his bride (my grandmother) to be. On the other side I had a grandfather who ended as a Genreral and fought in the war and was a belly gunner in the ball turret of a B-17 Flying Fortress.

    So not only do I truly respect your work for the artistic side of I but I truly admire your work for the "war birds" side of it. The hirstorical qualities you include in your artwork is absolutely stunning, and for that I have a deep amount of respect and appreciation.

    Thus why I would be a proud collector of your work."

  20. Good evening,

    My name is Matthew Anderson. I am a Marine and a I am a fan of the pin-up era and genre. I enjoy your work and the composition thereof. I'm in love with the vintage era (specifically the 40's through 1960): the styling; the vehicles; the films; etc.

    There's nothing more patriotic than a thunderous American flying machine with a beautiful woman beside it. The curves of the model accentuating the curves of the aircraft and vice-versa. I feel that Mr. Malak captures in every photograph the soul of each subject (woman and aircraft) that he is shooting as well as the essence of the time period that he is evoking.

    My appreciation for this type of art has been accentuated by my military service. I worked on the Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point near the flightline and I would see the AV8-B Harriers and the EA-6B Prowlers practicing maneuvers. I would think back to what the skies would have looked like with the aircraft practicing for combat in the pacific theater.

    I would be honored if you chose me to win this contest and I would display your artwork proudly.

    Semper Fidelis,
    Anderson, Matthew R.
