The Hardware

Laptop

My current laptop is an Asus L3: 1.6GHz P4, 1,2 Gb RAM, 80Gb 7200 rpm disk, DVD/RW, a spacious 1400x1050 screen and all sorts of connections, running Windows XP Pro.

Printers

I am a happy owner of the awesome Epson Stylus Pro 4000 printer. Its output is unbelievably stunning — and the prints are rated for 100-200 years longevity. This is amazing technology for a very reasonable price ($1,800 in the US, but I had to pay much more in overpriced Scandinavia, alas).

Scanner

Epson Perfection 1640 SU.

Digital camera

In August 200g, I acquired a Nikon D200, a 10 Mbpx DSLR, and have since bought three fine lenses.

Misc

My 4" by 5" Wacom pressure sensitive drawing tablet comes in handy sometimes, though most of my digital artwork I do with the same old mouse and mousepad everbody else uses.

The Software

This is my present graphics toolbox, some of which I use a lot (like Photoshop), others only rarely (like the 3D stuff).

Vector Drawing

Xara Xtreme Pro, Illustrator CS2, Expression 3, RealDraw 3, CorelDraw 8 (gasp!)

Bitmap & Painting

Photoshop CS2, Painter 8

Layout & Prepress

InDesign CS2, QuarkXPress 3.1 (gasp!), Acrobat 7 Pro

3D

SketchUp 5, Cinema 4D 8, Bryce 4, Poser 5

Web Tools

GoLive CS2, Swish 2, WebStyle 4
