Question graphics

I do custom airbrush work, and have an opportunity to do any kind of graphics scheme that I want, free.
Problem is, with all the creative freedom that that gives me, I cant for the life of me make a decision as to what I should do! It needs to be crazy though, something that no one else will ever have. If anyone has suggestions or pics of sick paint jobs, please post

You have to do something like a naked lady riding a guitar through the air in front of some misty mountains like on those 'mural vans' people drove around in the '70s.

I always thought the "Quik" bunny would be cool on the sides of an FD...

Not cool enough to put on my car, but cool enough for me to think, that's cool if I saw it on someone elses car...heheh

How about towards the back of the car, it looks like the paint is ripped away and you see a computer mother board with transistors, and resistors and ICs and crap, and in a dominant area there's one big chip (your CPU) that has a sticker that resembles the "intel inside" logo on it, but instead it says "Wankel Inside"

hmmm, how about make the hood look like there is a flaming rotor on it, extend the flames down the side of the body ending just short of the rear bumper.

cheers'

I don't have any killer ideas for graphics, but I do need some airbrushing done. Can you airbrush a blue and silver dragon, flying and breathing fire, on a blank license plate? I know a honey that wants one really bad, and I would be happy to foot the bill just to see how grateful she is. :-) Or I would buy it for her just because I'm sweet on her.
Can you do it?

My friend has an R6 (motorcycle) ANd it's painted like a tiger... damn nice paint job.. sounds kinda gay but i'll get a pic of it and send it to you.... THe pattern has to be just right though if you are doing it on a car.. Easier on a bike cause it only has two sides... You have way more surface area to wrry about... But it looks damn mean... You might even get sponsered from frosted flakes when done... LOL

King steel, I can do it! shouldn't be a problem, except that im in Md. dude unless ya can ship it to me. Ill get some pics of my work loaded on soon so yall can check it out. my fee for the painting should be about 50, but it'd be a bitch to do that small! how about ya send me her hood instead, costs more but is much better It'd be more worth yur while to get a pre made one off the net dude, im sure that theres somewher you can find what ya want, sorry!

If I get a vote, I would vote against the neon green - I only like that color on Ninjas.

But don't listen to me - find a scheme you like and run wit' it. Hell, if you're doing it yourself, you can always change it.

Get over the creative block by saying "F*** it!" and go for it.
