Need Illustrator Help!

Here's my illustration for "empty". It didn't take me very long, which is fantastic considering I'm not an artist.
I could definitely use some help with Adobe Illustrator if anyone has any tips. I know there are the obvious flaws - that is because I was self-taught at Illustrator and used it in a very limited aspect at my last job. I am actually an okay self-teacher, so I have no doubt that you will see an improvement as I continue with this. My main problem though is the smoothness of the lines. I manage to produce an awesome, clean .EPS in Illustrator & then when I export it to .JPG format, it gets all jaggedy and weird looking (click on the pic to see the larger version looks weird). I have saved at really high quality and it doesn't seem to help. Please, any experienced Illustrator users who visit, feel free to leave suggestions in my "comments". Thanks!

Can't help with the technicalities, but I like the picture.

if you click it at its largest resolution, the "weird" jagged lines go away. it's rather good - kudos to teaching yourself how to use the software!
