[B]Tuska[/B] Festival is very well known every year metalfestival in Finland. Of course I had to be there, field ticket was the only thing that I was going to settle for, and gladly managed to get.

A few words about me...

I was born in Porto (Portugal), in 1985.
Video-Games, and computing have always been my greatest passion since I was a small kid. I loved to draw and I also always loved and had a feeling for graphics art.

Feel free to take a look at my website, [url]www.helderpinto.com[/url], to see some of my past and present work, recreating 3D interiors for architectural visualization, level design for games, and miscellaneous 3D modeling.
