Hey and Hello all.

My name is Susan (AKA QSTG01) and I am up in the Madison Wisconsin area. This is my Jeep - The "Dragoneer" 98 XJ full airbrush custom (I just finished her about a week ago). I have had this rig for 8 years and we have both acquired bumps and bangs along the way. :)

Welcome to the site Susan. That's one hell of a paint job!

I love Madison, it's a great town. Are you an artist professionally?

That's a fancy mural on the hood. What's the story behind that?

Well not really sure - originally was a thought to show wiring under the hood.... then thought of a skull with spark plugs and then migrated to "Sparky" biting into the wires and the spark plugs sparking. Of course he had to be under the dragon scales (more under the hood) so hes coming out of a tear in the dragon skin.

Just one thing lead to another. I redrew him several times before ending up with "Sparky" as he is now.

Hey thanks alot!!! :) I am just learning but always wanted to airbrush my Jeep. Years ago I wanted to do it "graffiti style" as I used to do some Urban Jeeping down in St. Louis. :D

:D It would have to be next spring...... I have Halloween (home haunt and dress up 31 days in October) Christmas (huge yard display), and then I have to try to catch up on everything I didn't do while doing all this other stuff. ;)

I am originally from St. Louis area but moved up here 5 years ago. I like it but miss all the offroading in Missouri. I am not a professional airbrush artist - this is my practice piece. I have only been airbrushing for about 6-8 months.

It won't be anytine soon. I have some mechanical stuff to do this winter and then the paint. Then of course is the Sunday afternoon drive from the West Coast
