About Zoobs:
Zoobs Ansari, a British artist of Indian and Pakistani heritage, draws on personal experience to explore society’s obsession with physical perfection, popular culture, and celebrity. His works, which include photography, audio, video, sculpture, and performance, reflect influences from art, fashion, film, and music. Zoobs’ childhood experiences, including the sudden death of his father and struggles with assimilation in different cultural environments, deeply affected him and fueled his artistic expression. After a career in commercial photography, Zoobs shifted to more personal work, experimenting with mixed media and creating unique portraits that garnered acclaim. Inspired by Warhol, Zoobs’ recent work delves into the consequences of an obsessive pursuit of fame in the age of social media.
In the Zoobs collection, there are four different digital collectables:

About The Drop
God Save the Future Queen & King of Pop:
In 2011, British artist Zoobs Ansari created two mixed media art works titled ‘God Save the Future Queen’ and ‘King of Pop’, featuring Prince William and Kate Middleton, now the Prince and Princess of Wales. Measuring 48 inches x 36 inches, these works were created on wood, combining digital imagery, lettering-montage, and Zoobs’ signature paint work. They were part of a series of works he called ‘scrolls’, which he started creating on wood after initially using heavyweight art paper. The works were framed in Victorian frames adding 12 inches to their size, and were unveiled at a gallery in London, generating global media coverage and eventually being acquired by Dolce & Gabbana. Limited edition prints were also released and sold out within a week. Inspired by the ‘Sex Pistols’ vinyl record artwork, the works will now be released as interactive NFTs on the 12th wedding anniversary of the Prince and Princess of Wales, approximately 12 years after they were first created.
