Inspired by Pablo Picasso's single line drawings, but exploring iconic automobiles, every one of Dwight Knowlton's continuous-line drawings are the result of hours of exploration and stylizing before committing to the final, single path. The challenge is to find the perfect balance of simplicity and complexity. Every choice in where to start, overlap, connect, and end, affects the emotion and feel of the piece.
Stories in a single line make great gifts, and can be commissioned to celebrate a favorite vacation, life event, or simply a special car in a favorite place. . Inquire.

Each of these designs is created from original art and elements scanned from out-of-print sports and racing car magazines. I'm seeking out long out-of-print titles from the early years and racing took hold in America. One by one, I'm selecting art from mastheads and illustrations inside and crafting a shirt using original marks and original colors from each title. It's been fun so far, and there are many more in the works.
I hope you'll join me in collecting each new design as I create them.
