I'm going the exact opposite of M Krass here. I think your best bet here is to import the artsy stuff into Corel Draw or Adobe Illustrator, and then use the various utilities to get it into a vector format. From there, you should be able to export it to a DWG and then import it into Inventor. I'd think this route would be much preferable, as I know CNC machines can handle stuff inventor would put out, but I've no clue how a true CNC would work with a simple BMP file.
