From childhood trips to the track, to my mother’s courageous cancer battle and a sketch by my wife, here is Brendan Droppo Design's story. (Thank you @tradingpaints and @ItsMichaelCarey for the feature: https://t.co/YIhsAR3BxS)

A thread:

1. How did you get your start designing?

Growing up it was art (drawing) first. Whether at home or school, it was long hours on the kitchen table or just waiting for art class to start. When I was very young, my father was an Earnhardt fan; however, he quickly turned into a Bobby Hamilton 43 fan after Dale had wrecked him. His fandom transferred to me shortly after when I attended my first race at Pocono in the ’90s, cheering for Bill Elliott and my favorite restaurant [McDonald’s]! My love for art then merged with my newfound passion for NASCAR, and I went from drawing ships and skateboarding shoes to race cars and paint schemes, envisioning my own racing someday.

As a teenager in the 2000s, I switched from pencil to computer, and began to develop technical skills using paint and 3D programs for countless hours. I was uploading accurate NR2003 skins for users to enjoy, gleaming if they commented on the details I put in. I then started creating fictional paint schemes, showing a forum what cars would look like if an associate expanded to primary, using fan reception as motivation — a Dale Jr. concept had even won a Speed Channel contest and appeared on live TV, shocking my father!

During my first summer off from Graphic Design college, I knew I wanted to design NASCAR paint schemes professionally. I then cold emailed and landed a remote internship with Matt Kenseth’s spotter’s company, where I designed my first ever paint scheme for Chase Austin’s No. 07 Cavi and Macy’s Chevrolet in the Nationwide (Xfinity) Series at Daytona. To repay the favor, I brought my father to the other side of the fence to look at it up close, a time we still reminisce on to this day.

The 42 is inspired by Dollar Tree's stripes, the 43 is an inverse and the 84 is a modern flag featuring 700.
