I’ve known Jen for over 15 years and she is one amazing artist.

I'm 84 and was striping in Oakland Calif under Tommy the Greek's eye when I was 17 years old back in the 50's. I still do it and love the art. I was an art major in Oakland California at Art's and Crafts College. This lady is fantastic and so glad to see her carrying the art form forward.

Thanks for doing this interview. She is a really interesting and talented person.

Hot Rod Jen , Madam your work is awesome ! Many years ago I was doing some hand letter paint on some equipment of the Air Force ! I was doing it only because the stencil was torn and bent ! But we needed the equipment finished and out on the flight line to be Operational Ready that day ! My supervisor couldn't find me partly because I was hiding in a corner working on it during lunch ! When he found me and seen what I was doing which I was almost done with the entire piece of equipment all done hand lettering ! He asked if I did pin striping ! I said no that this was my first time of even doing letters ! He had a old 49 Mercury that he customized that was pinstriped ! He thought that I was good enough try getting into pinstriping but I never got or had a chance to do so ! That was back in the early 80's ! Now I feel that I'm to old to get into it at the age of 68 ! Thank you for sharing your story of your work and how you got started !

That is one talented Girl !

Dude!!! That pod was the best!!! One yet!!!!✌️

Awesome interview. I learned some rudimentary pinstriping years ago and this makes me want to get some brushes and paint and try again.

That was a great video with her.

Thank you Matt for having HotRod Jen on your show !

Great interview!

Thanks!

Very exciting to see a young person pinstriping. One of the great ones past recently, "Slick". He would have loved Jen

INCREDIBLY TALENT PERSON...LOVE WATCHING HER WORK. GOOD INTERVIEW!!!

Great show, Matt. Jen seems to be a great woman. I wish her well and many terrific adventures in the future. 😊

That is one cool lady. Great interview [as usual] Thanks Matt.

I know a few stripers/sign painters,ive been around them for years,one is a old timer named ernie gosnell and brian papa. Theyve always been the hardest workers,long hours,tight spaces and working in extreme enviroments. Not for the faint hearted. Ive always been inspired and supported the trade,never baught vinyl i have it hand painted,same with L.E.D. lights i buy neon. Anyone the the kulture lifestyle knows what im talking about. Ive known a little of jens work over the years but being on the west coast not seeing her work except on you tube,after this video im very impressed,shes a true artist,not just a striper,thats such a small part of her skill. I love her out of the box thinking on her panels. Im now a big fan of her work and plan on buying one. Great video,she deserves every bit of attention she gets! To be a full time painter you cant put into words what it takes to get where she is. Support these peoples work you dig and hire them,buy merch or prints,without people doing that they go away .

Fantastic interview! Jen seems so down to earth and her work speaks for itself…

Matt, Jen, et al, thanks much for the video. Jen's closing comments about wanting to do a carrousel horse made me think of the old carrousel at Dorney Park that we used to visit, well, probably long before your guy's lifetime. Again, thanks for the video. Keep up the good work, Jen!

Great interview of a true legend in the hot rod/art community! Go Jen and Iron Trap, keep moving forward!

You can usually tell the gender of the artist.. Her career path is a perfect fit. She mentioned our local Butler Art Museum! How cool is that ❤

When I was younger I used to stripe at car shows, around the same time Jen was starting out. After a few years she had gotten so good, I just quite. Nobody would want my shit, when you could have her do their cars. She is super talented and I’m glad she’s made such a name for herself.

Artist and Scientist 👍😎👍

That was really interesting. Enjoyed HRJ.

Wow! She is so cool and exciting.

I like her lines. 🤣 Seriously anybody can lay down strike like that, is a joy 2 watch!! The fact that she is in a crusty old guy makes it even better because it's fantastic to see people of all ages male and female in the hobby. A friend of mine is father was excellent laying it down freehand. I credit him with my great interest in the art 🎨. I can lay down paint but I cannot stripe 🦓.

Thanks Matt, I've followed her longer than you guys. It was a great interview.

Nice Video. GREAT WORK JEN. ❤ #STAYSAFE #PHILLYPHILLY🇺🇸

Great interview. If she found a way to mass-produce those ornaments, she'd make a killing.

Fantastic interview!

I remember watching an artist that did all the gold leaf on the transoms of the old wooden yachts. Spent a lot of time in Essington and Governor Prince marinas below the Philadelphia airport.

very interesting interview. Thanks.

Jen's a Real Trooper; 28`F. in a garage - like Matt said - ' wait till Spring '. I'd sure like to see you as Featured Guest, Jen @ MSRA - BTT50s weekend - but I'm not a member - you'd be Great - especially for the daughter's who attend with their Dad

She will make you rich can you make her rich

There isn't enough pinstripers and airbrushers out there. I used to go to rallies to get work done on my bikes.

Let her just do that truck from one end to the other back up and just go wow

Best money you'll ever spend going to do the work before she's gone

Great interview!!!! What happened to the Dads daily driver video that was posted after this video ?

is she from pa. ?

Who are the artist girl when you look at that truck what do you see

Just let her go man let her do your truck

Does it matter how much it cost play little lady you'll have something Irreplaceable

Never tell the artist what to paint

Give her the pallet just go away you will have the coolest truck

You're going to make a mistake if you let her get away
