For years I did pen (Pilot precise rolling ball V5) and colored pencil (Berol Prismacolor) illustrations.  A few years back, the Mac clone came into my life.  I found it was a very useful tool for editing my work.  When I want a certain detailed look I use this technique then scan and edit. 

          Most of my work at the moment is 2-D animation.  Design of the animations are done on the mac using Painter.  The work is then taken to the PC (IBM clone) in a numbered stack where I use Paint Shop Pro's Animation Shop and Animation Wizard for timing and more editing.  

          The main softwares I'm using now are Flash 4, and Painter 5 for animation and editing.  I also use Photoshop, Illustrator, Page Maker, Paint Shop Pro and Director.  Almost forgot to mention the Wacom tablet(12x12).  God bless Wacom tablets.
