About Andrei Oprinca

Hello, my name is Andrei, I was born in 1988 and I'm a self taught graphic artist (I don't consider myself an artist though, I'll have to check for the definition of that). I write Photoshop tutorials about all the techniques I know and I also provide my brushes and also stock images and other resources. I hope you like my site.
