I like Hoffman's colors, but I'll go with the peaceable Hicks also.

I'm going to go with Hoffman and vivid squares. Although I like Hicks well enough.

I'm a fan of both, perhaps because my parents had prints from both since I was a little kid. I was going to say Hicks, but consulted my wife and kids and all three voted for Hoffman. Outvoted, I'll say Hoffman!
