Go with a 500 MHz Pismo. I used one until just a couple of months ago, and the only thing that really pushed me into upgrading was the lack of good video. It'll do everything else you need just fine. You will need a wifi card, but they are pretty cheap and work just fine.
I have used and owned all of the G3 powerbook models, and IMHO the PIsmo is still a great work horse. For cheap graphics work, if your version of Photoshop won't load (I see no reason why it wouldn't, but just in case), try Graphic Converter. I've used that for many years. It's shareware.
