'Circus Charlie'

I've never been all that interested in playing Konami's Circus Charlie, but the (cropped) image on the right (see the full thing here), created by artist Jim Pluk, is making me re-think that position.

Digital prints of Pluk's piece, which was produced for the Press Start! art show, can be purchased here for $60.

If I had the dough, I'd snap one up in a heartbeat--along with Stéphane Barrette's 8-Bit Chaos, Christine Daigle's Game Over and Meka's Ghost and Goblins.
