Adult Swim is premiering an unprecedented program this May featuring the Atlanta-based graffiti artist “Hense” while he unveils his newest canvas, the all-new Kia Soul urban passenger vehicle. Adult Swim Presents: Kia Soul/Hense will feature an exclusive look at the artist as he paints directly on the Kia Soul creating Adult Swim-inspired themes and characters through time-lapse photography. Launching today at www.adultswim.com/kiasoul, Adult Swim will feature the footage, along with official rules and information about how fans can enter for a chance to win the limited edition Kia Soul.
The effort, via Initiative+, will feature an insiders’ look at up and coming artist “Hense” as he puts his creative inspiration on the widely acclaimed and media lauded Kia Soul. Visitors to the soul.adultswim.com site will have access to a video interview with the artist and additional information about the Kia Soul through a custom branded Kia Soul digital environment. Starting June 1, the Web site will feature the opportunity to enter to win the limited edition car. Adult Swim broadcast programming also will drive viewers to the Web site throughout the promotional period that concludes on 6/28.
