[edit] Fandom involvement
He has worked on various comic titles such as Hit the Beach, In the Zone, Furrlough, Extinctioners, Extinctioners Annual, Skunkworks Reflections, Boudoir, Rare Breed, and Sabrina Online, among others. He lives in Nepean, Ontario, Canada.
He was the guest of honor at Conifur Northwest 2001, Feral! 2007, Morphicon 2008, and What The Fur 2010. He was reported to have been considered for guest of honor at Bytown Furry Convention in 2010.[citation needed]
[edit] Fursona
As his Bunnyman alter ego, he has a crush on Sabrina, the lead character on the "Sabrina Online" series, but he has been constantly euchred in all his attempts to date the skunkette.
He has tried just about everything, from bribing Sabrina's little sister Tabitha to introduce them, trying to woo her at a science fiction convention (and having R.C. Raccoon beat him to it, as well as having a run-in with Stinken!) to finally trying to meet her face to face at her apartment, only to end up babysitting the li'l ones.
Max also has a female fursona counterpart, Maxine.
[edit] Original characters
Aside from his aforementioned Fursonas, Max has also created several other original characters that have become well-known among the furry community.
- Zig Zag: One of Max's first and possibly most well-known original characters.
- Coil: A member of Aaron Larson's Anacoonda species, Coil is typically being depicted as the rival of Aaron's own Anacoonda character, Astrid.
- Raven Hunt: A blue-furred wolf, Raven is a teacher at the fictional Patriarch University along with characters contributed by several other artists.
- Pussy Noir: A black-furred feline, Pussy is a character that was created largely for the Fur After Dark paysite, though Max has posted images of her on his free sites as well.
[edit] Controversy
On January 2013, upon returning from Further Confusion 2013, Max Black Rabbit was stopped by Canadian customs for a random check. After going through his sketchbooks, originals, art/books by other furry artists, laptop and phone, all of it, except his phone, were confiscated under the guidelines of the Canadian obscenity laws, and sent away for further examination by the Canada Border Services Agency. He was not detained, and was allowed to re-enter Canadian territory.[2] On February 22, Max reported that everything had been returned to him after the agent handling his case said it didn't count under bestiality law because there weren't any actual animals.[3]
