Designcollector: What inspired the work in your first NFT drop?
Schoony: For the first drop with SuperRare I thought I would go back to one of my early works. Where The War Things Are is a variation on my Boy Soldier that has been a motif that has stuck with my work over the years and been very symbolic. Where the War Things Are is a throwback to my time spent in Melbourne, Australia where I was working on the film Where the Wild Things Are. I thought I would celebrate my first drop on SuperRare by recreating the piece digitally.
