What you want is an Encore Expressionist. I think it can do most of what you are
talking about and then some. Get one of Mr. Bradley's "statementist" breakout

Of course, the problem is that Expressionists are a bit pricy but the power is well
worth the cost. I'm sure Tony can chime in with a bit of self-marketing here ;)
