It's vector graphics, i.e. scalable graphic without a fixed resolution (you can zoom in forever without loosing quality). This kind of image can then be rendered onto a picture as seen on the site.

One program that is used to create such digital art is Adobe Illustrator found at http://www.adobe.com/

You can use an underlying picture when creating vector graphic, trace it manually and finally tweak it. This is not cheating (provided you have the rights to use the photo and/or permission to do so).

Can Macromedia Fireworks do that?

I know JASC Paint Shop Pro can do vectors, but not the best in the world at it!

The program used is the new Flash MX. It is leaner and meaner!
