"My idea came from the memory of when I tagged along an older cousin to arcades when I was a little kid. He was really into fighting games at the time. One day he decided to play Mortal Kombat II and I remember him being good enough that he started a line. I'll always remember Sub Zero ripping someone's head off and revealing a bloody and dangling spine and that scared the crap out of me.
I decided to depict MKI and MKII characters executing their fatalities mashed-up with common outdoor play activities. (Going to an arcade counts as leaving the house ^_^)."
