If you enjoy MS Paint you'll LOVE Inkscape http://inkscape.org/
Best of all it's open source, so it's FREE! It's more complicated than Paint, but you can get the hang of it with a day or two of messing about... + there's some good tutorials on YouTube.

This was done with Inkscape:

Without wishing to sound too nerdy, the great thing about Inkscape is that it creates vector graphics, rather than pixel-based lines. What this means is that you can create a piece of artwork that looks just as crisp if it's reduced to 2mm x 2mm as it does if it's blown up to 400m x 400m. Great for screen-based stuff (inluding mobile phones) and prints superbly.

Not quite, I have the van version as a sticker, but drew these using the wheels from the original pic, the rest is freehand
