I still haven't gotten around to learning Postscript (it's been on my to-do list for about a decade),
ISTR you were learning Forth a couple months ago? Postscript is AFAIR supposed to be much the same, but with different commands. Everything goes on a stack (2 stacks? I forget), and just about all the commands are about drawing some primitive or modifying some setting.
A nice site I found on the subject of learning Postscript a couple years ago, might be of use to you. No, I can't say I've done anything* with what I've read but I did read it! :D
There's also a typesetting language called "Lout", which is designed like a higher-level version of postscript that compiles into normal postscript files. It can do graphics a bit, but probably not useful if you want to just do that.
(*-I tend to find that doing stuff is the most important part of learning, so that would be the main reason I can't claim to know postscript: I wouldn't be able to remember how it goes together because I've not practiced)
