Thanks! The desk is a little cleaner than normal because I had to move stuff around for the new scanner. The chair *is* really comfy (it's made by Serta, the people who make the mattresses). The picture of Colleen is actually an original production cel from the episode "The Hair of the Wolf That Bit You", which was gifted to me long, long ago. The image below it is a production-cel of Brenda Springer from "Animalympics"
I actually use an ancient Alvin portable drawing table propped up in the middle of the table: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4580671/ , which allows me to swap out the work-space pretty quickly, eventually when i get a house, my intent is to set up two separate stations, one for computer-stuff and one for doing the art and broadcasting.
I often sketch very impromptu (laying on the bed, sitting on the couch), but when i want to do the 'real thing" I actually do this: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4580671/, it's a little *less* convenient than if I could just straight have a work-station for everything, but right now my little 2-room flat doesn't have the space for all that. :)
It's a dual-arm full-articulation mount that I bought a number of years ago, it's sold under different brand-names by various vendors; http://www.outletpc.com/c4384.html# is one of them. I bought it specifically because it was simple, sturdy, and inexpensive. Only after I got it did I realize just how clean the design is and how much desk-top real-estate it frees up. I had an actual Ergotron dual monitor stand before this one that I paid a lot of money for and this is actually better. It's not as *pretty* as the Ergotron, which had a sculpted aluminum base, but that base took up a *huge* amount of desk-top space.
I know plenty of people who prefer wired, especially gamers. They sometimes scoff when I mention my wireless mouse, but I guess I'm not hardcore enough to notice the difference.
The Logitech Performance MX is actually a really good wireless mouse. I used to run into interference or out of range problems, but this one has been surprisingly good. It also runs on one AA sized rechargeable that can be replaced easily. When it needs charging, you plug a USB cord into the front of it and it becomes a wired mouse. Even when I'm doing a lot of gaming, it'll go for a couple of weeks on a full charge.

I've been collecting art for a long time. the Road Rovers cel was a gift a long time ago, because i liked the who enough I owned a green 1969 Land Rover named Colleen. :)
The Animalympics cel, I bought at PhilCon some time in the 1980's or '90's, before collecting cels was common, I think I only paid $15-$20 for it. I had *no* idea at the time that they were rare. I've been a huge fan of Masamune Shirow for many many years, since "Dominion: Tank Police" came out in the late 1980's ; UniPuma and AnnaPuma were (unintentionally) seminal "furry" characters of an adult persuasion, in the fandom. I actually have a lot of Masamune Shirow manga, movies and video-CDs.

"Intron Depot 1", :Intron Depot 2: Blades", "Intron Depot 3: Ballistics" and "Intron Depot 4: Bullets" ; Personally I think the first one is the best of them, showing off his design, pencil, ink and coloring skills - his work has gotten progressively more digital and doesn't have quite the same "heart" as the earlier works, but still reflects his awesome sense of design. I'm pretty sure all of them can be had at reasonable prices online.
Really, all you need is a dual-output video card, they can be had fairly readily and cheaply now. If you're going to go for a dial-monitor setup, I'd recommend this mount: http://www.outletpc.com/c4384.html# , and make sure you get a card and monitors with either DVI or HDMI connections. Other than that Windows XP and Win7 both can have have multiple monitors natively. I use a utility called "UltraMon" that adds some useful utility but isn't *required*.
I'm sitting at it all the time (I telecommute for my day-job) so I try and keep it relatively tidy. Admittedly here it's a little tidier than normal because I had to move things around for the new scanner. Yes, you have identified the art correctly. And yes, the books are the "Sholan Alliance" series. I swear, after reading a couple, they're like sci-fi furry Harlequin Romance novels; Ms. Norman gets pretty detailed in her xenophile interpersonal relationships.
Good eye! I'm using UltraMon to manage the multi-monitor setup. You would *think* that Windows7 would have that functionality, native, with how common multi-monitor setups are now, with the IT industry and telecommuting, but the way it handles multi-monitor is still pretty clunky.
from screen stills I have seen of win8, I think it is suppose to support multimon natively. Well, technically windows 7 does, but i mean task bars and such. It will also let you put their little "tablet-o-vision" start menu replacement up on one monitor while you are using the other if you want..
now what I wish they would do is allow custom task grouping. Instead of stacking your tasks from left to right as they do now, which ends up wasting a lot of space, let you group your icons where you want them... Like putting media players on the left, internet centric programs in the middle, graphics editing to the right, etc..I tend to be into modularization.... a place for everything, everything in its place..

So this is where the "magic" happens... do you keep your old art in that lockbox or is it for something else? (I'm sure someone's asked but going through comments I didn't see it.)
Think I recognize all of those desktop pictures other than the little top right one, my eyes aren't good enough to see what it is.
Awesome setup though, very much like mine except a smaller scanner and bigger keyboard.

Oh! well, it *is* a European format scanner, as it is (A3 format), unfortunately it's a fair bit more expensive (L190 in the UK). There are similar scanners in the L150 range (still more expensive). Might be better prices in mainland Europe, depending on the strength of the Euro.
