This is my latest Sharpie Scribble Style drawing, motorcycle racer Kenny Roberts, known to many as "King Kenny." This is another project given to me by Sean Ewing, a lifelong BMX and motorcycle enthusiast and rider, and a guy who I've done several really cool drawings for. Sharpie markers on paper, 18" X 24",about 45 hours of work, #sharpiescribblestyle, November 2024.
Kenny Roberts rose up in California to become a great flat track motorcycle racer on the dirt tracks as a young man. He moved on up to road racing, got sponsored by Yamaha, and was the first guy to touch his knee to the ground while leaning into turns. In the late 1970's and early 1980's. Kenny went on to become the first American World Champion at road racing, long dominated by the Europeans at the time. Then he won the World Championship a second year in a row. Check the videos below for footage and the story of Kenny Roberts.
