About Darling Boys

Darling Boys is a queer art project masquerading as a sticker empire: bold, intimate, and unapologetically alive. Darling Boys transforms desire, identity, and subculture into visual declarations that stick — on walls, on laptops, on skin, in memory. Drawing from bathroom graffiti, club-floor hookups, internet performance, and the quiet rebellion of queer visibility, the work pulses with both tenderness and defiance. Gold halos meet pop provocation. Saints become sluts. Masculinity softens, hardens, and reclaims itself.

At its core, Darling Boys is about intimacy as resistance. Every piece celebrates queer bodies not as spectacle, but as power. The aesthetic balances high-art references with lowbrow attitude, merging devotional iconography with contemporary sticker culture. It is polished but never too polite.

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.
