Yeah, Gary B, have used this frequently in cartoons but it is a bit of a fiddle when your working in small areas like eyes & mouths. You have to double click the tool and open the dialogue box and give the end points a value and then the sides to make it idiot proof for me but of course you then can save it to your library. No I just want plain old brushes that you can do 1 to 5 here in Vectortuts: http://design.tutsplus.com/tutorials...el--vector-301
Forget the rest the borders, scatter, maybe don't with the art brush it's handy!
