Kenny Youngblood is one of the most prolific automotive artists in the field and its most significant pioneer. He started drawing “slingshot” fuel dragsters in 1960 and if you’re into motorsports, no doubt you’ll know his art. In his early twenties, he built and drove fuel dragsters of his own. His clients were the who’s who of racing and his talents were put on many of the great funny cars of the seventies including the Snake & Mongoose, the Blue Max, Black Magic, and dozens more. Kenny’s ‘Blood Did It’ signature graced every form of racing including Reno air racers and Danny Sullivan’s Miller beer sponsored ‘Spin & Win’ Indy car. He created the graphic design for ZZ Top’s Eliminator album cover car and Dale Earnhardt’s Wrangler Monte Carlo race car, as well as the iconic ‘back-slash’ number 3. Kenny also paints race car portraits which are sought after by collectors worldwide.
