Fat Birds

I've selected a few choice birds from the Fat Bird series, and I'm going to create new versions of them. They'll face the opposite direction, will be painted from scratch and will be updated to match the modern Fat Bird aesethetic. There's There are a few reasons I'm doing this. I love these birds, and I want all Fat Bird collectors to have a chance to own these common and popular bird types. I also want to take a few of the more iconic birds so I have a base for variants, similar to the Skully III prints. Look for variants for these birds, during release, and beyond.
Be honest, the main reason is: $$$

Seems lazy.

I identify as a fat bird and I look forward to joining the community of other folks that identify as fat birds so we can regurgitate food into every other fat bird mouth since we are a part of the exclusive community. I also look forward to incubating eggs and VIP parties with birdman. It's all about the community, and the road map looks amazing.

angry and bitter about what exactly? fact that mike can't come up with any new ideas so he's redoing all the fat birds looking the other direction? i'm so bitter about that. so angry. could punch a wall. actually, i'll just sell all my fatbirds as seem collecting them at this point is pointless.

This is what a bitter statement looks like if it helps.

I could rag on Mike all day, but if he was trying make easy money then why hasn't he pumped out Food Dudes? The Fat Kingdom? Fat Friends? Character portraits? He could easily do 30 movie character portraits..but doesn't do them.

He is making new content all the time?
Also "without new content no point in collecting" is an odd way to collect. It's like saying hey Mickey Mantle isn't playing baseball anymore his cards are now worthless. Or Kurt Cobain died, better stop listening to Nirvana. But you do you.

exactly. absolutely think collecting that stuff is worthless. i don't buy on secondary markets. people can collect for different reasons and different rewards.

you do you.
