What's the price range?
If he's an artist, he'll need three things that other PC's do not necessarily need: lots of RAM, a high-clock speed CPU, and a large hard drive. I suggest at least a 2.4 GHz Pentium 4 or higher if you can afford it. Intel processors are better than AMD's concerning video and image editing/creation. The higher clock speed will yield better results than a lower-clock speed AMD processor. The PC will also need a lot of RAM. I'd get at least 768 MB, and preferably 1 GB if he's gonna be dealing with big image files. More than 1 GB is fine if you can afford it. A 120 GB sounds good. Make sure it's 7200 RPM with an 8 MB cache. If it's not gonna be for gaming, I suggest going to NewEgg.com and simply searching for any videocard that has the features you want. I can't really be more specific unless we have a price range...so if ya can post that then it will narrow down a lot of features.
