About Darling Boys

Darling Boys is a bold, sexy, and unfiltered celebration of queer expression. Born from years of art, graphic design and a love of the raunchy and ridiculous, the brand turns the queer physical experience into something collectable, loud, and proudly visible.

Our artworks and stickers reflect the ways we present ourselves - online, on the dancefloor, in the back of a club, and on the bathroom walls where strangers leave messages that hit harder than any TED Talk. It’s raw. It’s messy. It’s magic.

Stickers are our secret weapon - queer little messengers that sneak into bars, diaries, fridges, bumper stickers and bathroom stalls. They're not just art, they’re connection. Quiet revolutions stuck on loud surfaces.

And this is just the start. Expect Darling Boys to grow into a full-on queer art and gift universe - think playing cards, tees, wallpapers, wrapping paper, home stuff and chaos.

We’re not here to be quiet. We’re here to stick around.

Artist & Creative Director, Darling

Kevin Kat

I was your classic overachieving closeted gay kid - sketching Britney for art class, acing exams, quietly obsessed with stickers and self-expression. Once I kicked that closet door off its hinges, I fell headfirst into the rich, riotous world of queer art and illustration.

Darling Boys is my love letter to that journey - a bold blend of years spent sharpening my linework, deep-scrolling the filthiest corners of the internet, and dreaming up a store as unapologetically gay as I am.

My work lives at the intersection of classical beauty and digital desire. It’s horny. It’s heartfelt. It’s hand-drawn, one seductive stroke at a time.

I make art to spread queer joy, celebrate self-acceptance, and slip a little smile onto your face - whether it’s from a sticker on your laptop or a print on your bedroom wall.

Marketing & Managing Director, Darling

Tiaan Silly

I’ve always considered myself an artist - even if Kevin still brings up that high school Johnny Depp sketch like it’s a war crime. Art comes in many forms, babe. Mine just happens to look a little more like chaos, charm, and creative hustle.

I was that closeted kid who’d say yes to anything. Direct and act in the school play? Sure. Light and sound technician? Why not. Secretly sewing my own outfit? Obviously. I’m what you’d call street smart with a glittery side hustle in making sh*t happen.

I’ve spent years swimming through the worlds of TV, film, events, and marketing. Jumping headfirst into projects with friends, lovers, strangers, you name it. So when Kevin’s art slapped me across the face (in a good way), I couldn’t resist. One idea led to another, and suddenly we were co-parenting a little queer sticker cult.

Now I’m one half of Darling Boys: the loud, proud, slightly unhinged creative force behind your favourite shamelessly gay destination.
