Also, if you have any vector art that you've done, I'd love to see it.

If I could make a suggestion, I would say use less black lines to highlight/define the different areas. Instead, just let different colors do the defining for you. If if you really want the darkened lines, use a darker version of the fill color of a piece. Such as on the computer, maybe use a dark violet instead of black lines around the purple areas.
I use Macromedia Fireworks MX for all my vector art, such as many of those
great diagrams that I often post in threads. I also use Fireworks whenever I have to "prototype" ideas for designing web pages. Using a combination of vector graphics and raster images, I can usually pretty quickly "sketch up" ideas to see how they will look. After that is done, then I'll do all the XHTML/CSS/JS/PHP/MySQL coding in Dreamweaver.
For the record, Adobe now owns Macromedia, and it looks like Fireworks lost to Illustrator in the acquisition.
I guess I was aptly named Art. It would be quite ironic otherwise if I was horrible at art.
