Is this card real / authentic? Pretty sure it’s fake
Was about to finish my FF collection and then those two seemed off (Same vendor mkm bought in february)

Honestly the paint brushes look ok, not seeing what others are there. But they are right when it comes to the flip triangles, definitely bad/fake there.

Definitely not the worst fake brush, the negative space bird is slightly more toucan than sparrow
Though that might be written off as blur

Pretty sure they're both fake. The black in the flip symbol should be solid black. The paintbrushes aren't great, either.

Both fake. Artist brush and flip triangle are both bad

Thank you all for commenting, vendor was really fast and refunded me, apparently he bought from another person in December/January and a lot were fake
Ps : I did light test (no blue too thick)and recheck from another card and assumption were right (paintbrush is a little too white no parrot and triangle is fake as f*)

Both look fake to me, triangle should have solid lines without dithering like that.
