For the digital art, I work on a PC rather than a Mac. My present machine isn't
exactly lightning fast. I have 4 GB of RAM, 600 GB of disk space, another 320 GB of
disk space in an external drive for backups, and the processor is an Athlon Palatino
3800+ processor running at 2.4 GHz. I also use a Wacom graphics pad, although I began
with a mouse.
For my traditional art, which is now becoming rare, I prefer to use acrylics with the
occasional sprinkling of airbrush. I have never used oil (well, once or twice, but I
lack the patience) and I dislike the results you get with watercolour. Gouache is
okay. I also love oil pastels
