Maybe they couldn't get likeness rights from what's her face

I will say that Max is the best portrait Mike has done imo. Just from an artistic standpoint. Might have to cop.

Do people think that artists just don't have a desire to include Furiosa on all these Mad Max pieces? :P
yup there are some people who think Mondo has an anti furiosa agenda 8)
I heard it's more like Mike and Mondo have an anti-woman agenda.

Funny because I heard its more like people piling on social and political issues to artists and companies rather than simple likeness rights that they can't acquire.
jkw3000 - Nobody ever really wins in this hobby.

It's a bummer. We would have LOVED to release a Furiosa portrait. It's really a bummer when you have borderline SJWs dismissing the two portraits we could do. Regardless, I'm super proud of how they came out, and I really found a new appreciate for Immorten Joe as a character in the process. Thanks to anyone who picked either of them up, it's very much appreciated.

sirmitchellMan, I'm so excited to finally be doing a Hooded Warbler, it's been on my list for a while now. I'll probably finish it this weekend and have it in the shop next week as a timed edition, or in a week or two as a limited edition. But soon regardless. #fatbirdsofinstagram #yearofthefat
Whatever happened to that bird? Any update on the drop, Mike?
THanks!
