Forget Frankie—Hugo Goes to Hollywood!

OK. Savor it.

Savor it!

The colors, for me, are a throwback to early '90s arcade games—Mercs, Two Crude Dudes, Toki, etc.—and by extension, my glorious childhood. Aside from action figures and Stallone, I can't think of a bigger influence on me than the games I played when I was 10.
