“Popular independent Terry McMillan told me for years that he wanted us to do a painting of the Amalie Oil Top Fuel Dragster, but all of his money was going into the car.In the fall of 2017, Terri’s fiancé Cori called to say she wanted to buy him one as a wedding gift, and ‘Nitro Gator’ was the result.After delivering the painting at the Toyota Nationals in Las Vegas, Terry went on to finally win his first Wally.He got married, got a painting and won a race; he could have done this years ago!”

-Kenny Youngblood Youngblood’s career in motorsports art grew out of his love of auto racing, and began in 1967 when he built, drove and painted his own ‘Slingshot’ fuel dragsters.
As the result of doing the lettering on his friend Gary Messenger’s dragster, he was hired in 1968 by custom painters Dick Olsen and Don Kirby; for whom he would soon be adding the finishing touches to many of the nation’s top race cars.
By the end of the 1970’s, and with help from Kenny’s mentor and marketing genius Bob Kachler, it would be nearly impossible to open a car magazine, go to a car show or racing event without seeing the artist’s work.
Expanding his horizons in the late 70’s, Youngblood began publishing limited edition prints of his race car paintings and marketing them to a worldwide audience. He would be the sole pioneer of what would become the billion dollar racing collectibles industry.
Three of Kenny’s most recognizable designs would be the stars and stripes “Snake” logo for drag racer Don Prudhomme, the interlocking Z’s for ZZ Top’s “Eliminator” album cover car and the graphics for Dale Earnhardt’s first NASCAR ride; the Wrangler Monte Carlo including Youngblood’s design for it’s iconic number “3”.
Today he’s still at the easel, creating what he calls “Monuments On Canvas”; paintings depicting the lifestyles and prized possessions of discriminating clients, as well as making personal appearances for corporate clients throughout the U.S., Canada and the UK.
“Kenny has been called ‘The father of modern day race car graphics’ and is considered an icon in the field”
“Youngblood’s work was and still is an inspiration to those who endeavor to make hot cars look as good as they run”
“Kenny is one of my heroes!” -Chip Foose
“What can you say about Kenny Youngblood; he is The Arteest!” -Billy Gibbons
