MAN-E-NEWS// Brandt Peters’ “Stingy Jack” sofubi test pull plus sidekick competition…

“You’ve all heard about the great fabled STINGY JACK … an enchanted little jack-o-lantern of sorts who is an agent of great mischief and bedevilry! Well, it just so happens that this said character visited the CP crew whilst wandering the streets of Takayama and has since snuck his way to the US … and wants to move in with YOU!”

In a collaboration with Japan’s Tomenosuke, Circus Posterus are proud to present their first sofubi release, the absolutely stunning “Stingy Jack” from Brandt Peters! To celebrate the reveal, Circus Posterus are asking fans to come up with a suitable sidekick for the cigar smoking pumpkin-headed clown, with the winning entry securing 1 of only 3 original test pulls! Head over to the site here to find out more, and be sure to get your entry in before the May 24th deadline!

THE CONTEST: My friends, Stingy Jack needs a sidekick. A co-conspirator, a partner in crime, a shit disturber worthy of the Brandt Peters seal of insanity. Your task is to bring this character to life. Provide some type of visual representation (in .jpg format) in either a photograph, illustration, sculpture, drawing, digital art image (Photoshop or Illustrator) of who you think would fit perfectly into Stingy Jack’s world and universe. 

The format is ENTIRELY up to you and we’re looking for the most creative idea. Technical know-how and hand-skill will not have an advantage here and will come second to great and funny ideas. So stretch your creative tentacles and give us your best shot — this is a level playing field! BRING IT!!!!”
