Aviary is a set of web based design products that you can use on any computer with flash enabled they have a variety of different products that range from a vector graphics program called Raven, to a planned 3D modeling software called Hummingbird. There are still a few minor bugs that I noticed (which could be my fault since I'm running Firefox portable) with some of the programs but I was able to create and export a few things earlier. One of the cool things about it is you can export your creations to a variety of different formats, so if you want to edit it in another program later you can, also Raven exports to .png so you could create a decal for Blockland strait from there :D. The site also has a blog section where news on upcoming releases are posted as well as a forum for any questions you might have. There is also a section with several tutorials covering their released products that you can look at.
Aviary is on a mission to make creation accessible to artists of all genres, from graphic design to audio editing. We're a privately held company currently headquartered in Long Island, NY, with team members around the world. Our founders also created Worth1000.com, a talented community of 500,000 digital artists that participate in amazing daily contests.

I did some more digging around the site and found out that you have to pay a subscription fee of $10.00 a month to use all the features in the software.
Aviary has a free basic plan which is a great way to get to learn the tools. We also have a premium Pro plans which allows a lot more control over the applications usage. Our paid plan is incredibly affordable ($9.99 a month), especially when compared with traditional desktop software that can costs thousands of dollars.
For exact pricing details, please see our pricing page.
I don't know if this is old news to any but if you haven't heard of Aviary it's definitely something worth checking out. Yes I copied some of the descriptions of their site :P
