Jay Ward wrote an article on the history of the flame job, he missed a few things though



but this example was a mistake, as this was the Gilmore lion's mane, not flames. 

https://www.hagerty.com/media/automotive-history/flame-job-the-hottest-cars-were-an-entirely-american-invention/

And he didn't show the crabclaw flame lick, or Ed Roth's famous flames. 
And he didn't mention "True Fire" the revolutionary style that changed the flamejob about 20 years ago of Mike Lavallee
or the use of Chromostereopsis for 3d flames, in 2d paint. 
no mention of ghost flames, inverse flames, and reversed flames. 

I really do wish experts would ask me about car guy stuff, I could fill them in on the things they don't know

because I already posted about it, a couple years ago http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2020/07/who-invented-flame-job-sondre-kvipt.html

If you haven't seen my previous post about Jay Ward, he's a creative director at Pixar, focused on the Cars franchise since 1998, and also runs the campus classic car show, the "Pixar Motorama"

Before Pixar, he was the editor of Hop Up magazine from 2007 to 2009. He started at Pixar as an entry-level assistant position in the art department around 1996 because a college classmate got a job there and let him in on the secret that it was going to be the next big thing, then worked his way up in quick time from production assistant to coordinator
Before that, he was managing the parts department at an Oakland Harley-Davidson dealership.
Before that, he worked at an auto parts store and then attended California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland, now called California College of the Arts.
He joined the Navy Reserves out of high school
Lately he's been an honorary judge at Pebble Beach and the Quail
