Share Your Fanart and Win a Signed Copy of Fall Out Toy Works #1Inspiration comes from the strangest places. A random word or phrase, a flash of color, a photograph, even a song. And in fact, the song “Tiffany Blews” is exactly what inspired Pete Wentz and the other creators of Fall Out Toy Works to create the new comic series. The characters reflect this, with names like Mr. Moth, Crybaby and, of course, Tiffany.
And now, the team behind FOTW wants to see what a Fall Out Boy song inspires YOU to create. So they’ve set up a contest challenging fans to create a character based on any Fall Out Boy song. Five grand prized winners will walk away with a copy of Fall Out Toy Works #1 signed by the members of Fall Out Boy.
Want to enter? Go here, read the official rules and get to uploading. What will you create? Mr. Benzedrine? The first kid to sing of hearts, lies and friends? Someone who can crush you with their voice? A kid who’s all right, but it went to his head?
Good luck to all of the talented Buzznet artists out there! Can’t wait to see what you come up with!

You already know Fall Out Boy for their hit records and elaborate videos. Heck, you may even have a T-shirt or something, but now you’re going to get to see another side of the band as they fulfill their fanboy fantasies of having their own comic.
