Nice work, nice site illustrating both the techniques and the talent you display. As a fellow graphic designer and photographer I very much appreciate the time and effort required to take something from concept to completion. Putting up a tutorial is a really nice way to illustrate that point especially for non designers. Good vibes on this site, well done
