When you are an uber famous skateboarder, you can get anything you want, so when Keith Hufnagel discovered he could customize his own KIA Soul, he went straight to graffiti artist Remio, and thus the Remio KIA Soul was born.
Utilizing the Vancouver-based artist's skills for all they are worth, the Remio KIA Soul channels what has already been illustrated on trucks. Remio expresses his emotional state on the automobiles, and then simply lets them go.
