I draw everything in Adobe Illustrator 9 (I just do simple vector line art, so there has never been a compelling reason to re-learn CS or whatever, and now it would probably be like learning an entirely new program, plus cost money, which isn't a main thing I'm into).
Media
From there I "save for the web" using some free bundled version of Photoshop, like Elements or something.

For Achewood and illustration work, I use an old Windows Vista desktop tower with like a 7" x 10" Wacom tablet and optical mouse that has a laser beam inside; I think the rig was like $400 at Best Buy five or six years ago.
