It sounds to me like you are trying to create your images directly
with PIL.  While you can do this, it's probably not the most efficient
way of doing things.  PIL is, IMO, better suited to manipulating
images you have already constructed.

You might want to look into PIDDLE (piddle.sourceforge.net) or GRAPHITE
(graphite.sourceforge.net) for construction of graphics.  Graphite uses
Piddle, which is perfectly content generating graphics in PS, PDF, PIL,
etc.  Piddle is pretty simple to get going with and is fairly flexible.

I hope this helps,
