Misterdarkboy Molotow Graffiti Sneakers

Misterdarkboy Molotow Graffiti Sneakers

Misterdarkboy has done a sick commissioned set of graffiti sneakers for Molotow, what else is there to know? We’ve got a load of photos of his custom sneakers and a video showing the making of the Molotows, he also answered a few questions for us…

WG – Where are you from, and what name do you paint as?

Misterdarkboy – I am Misterdarkboy and I’m based in the UK.

WG – How did you first get into graffiti art?

MDB – I started painting straight out of art school in 2003. The spray can was always a tool I used on canvas so it was an easy transition to other formats.

WG – Why did you start doing custom sneakers?

MDB – I’ve always been a sneakerhead so I combined my two loves together.

WG – What influences your art? I saw you have an anime vibe, is this something you’re into?

MDB – Anime is one of many elements that influence my work. Recent visits I have taken to Japan, and most memorably a visit to the studio Ghibli museum in Mitaka Tokyo have been inspiring.

The studio Ghibli films are just magical, there is a quality to the workmanship and style that is totally unique.

WG – What artists are you into at the moment?

MDB – I am feeling the work of Roa, C215 and INSA - these guys are fresh!

WG – How did the Molotow appearance happen?

MDB – We had been talking for a while, and when they wanted me to test the Molotow One4All marker i worked on this commission for them.

WG – You can only paint with 2 colours for the rest of your life, what 2 colours?

MDB – Pink and black, thats just how I roll.

WG – Favourite sneakers?

MDB – I couldn’t just pick one pair, but I do have a soft spot for anything with a Trefoil

WG – Any plans for 2010?

MDB – More colabs, custom sneakers, vinyl toys and clothing. Should hopefully have something to report from a very prestigious toy company in the east. You heard it here first!
