So I'm practicing Illustrator and reworking it at the same time. Trying to get a handle on the pen tool but tracing the original image. It's not perfect and I'm still getting some weird results from the tool that I don't quite understand, but for the first time out of the gate, its looking pretty decent.

Here's just the illustrator work:
It's really nice to see some wonderful clean lines (hooray vectors!) instead of fuzzy pixels.
My future plan for this baby might be a Threadless submission.
