Hense is fucking awesome. If you go anywhere in Atlanta, you will see his work. Usually paired with Sever on a massive wall bomb. The scale and execution of his pieces is just fantastic. I am a big fan of Atlanta Graff art, being a former graff artist from Atl. This guy has major skill an deserves the exposure.
considering sales on past box-UV's like the Scion TC I'll give you a minute to ponder that, Ben.
In the meantime, I think this is a great idea, applied to a crap product. Considering the ATHF demographic, they should really be painting used Golfs and Volvo wagons, with paraphernalia stashed under the front seats.
@tekamul: Ben's right, at least where the Scion is concerned. A large number of the customers were significantly more "mature" than the initial target market.
@Alpuñod: I think he meant that tC isn't a box-UV. But the point doesn't change. Every time I go to a Scion booth at any show, it feels like a local AARP meeting there.
When will auto makers learn that consciously trying to be cool is antithesis to being cool?
The only way they'll make it appealing to young people only would be to actively terrorize and make old people feel unwanted. But then again, they're out to make money, and money is money.
I'm pretty sure at this point the stategy is try your hardest to be "hip", and thus appeal to the chronically un-hip. Turns out the old un-hip folks have the money.

Graphically, total win.
