Mooe - The A’s to Our Q’s:


Wooster: How did you get
started in creating art for the street?

Mooe: i
don’t like the greyness of the big cities like Milan…when i’m walking on the
streets or i’m waiting for bus, i like to see colors, paintings, cool writtens,
little stickers and i enjoy myself looking for different artists’ works and
recognize them. i like to see art everywhere…i image the wall like big sheet
of paper where everybody can express himself…me too.

/>Wooster: Why this funny little character? What’s the
origin?

Mooe:  i think i’m not so good in drawing,
but my green creatures originated from scribbles on little pieces of papers when
i was losting in thoughts. i liked them so much that i decided to draw them on
my computer. I showed those green monsters to my friends…they liked and i
decided to make stickers!

Wooster: What other
street artists do you most admire and why?

Mooe: 
In Italy i like Santy, Abbominevole, Bo130 & Microbo they are the best
representatives of the italian scene…but absolutely i love Freaklub with their
cool red haired girl and their explotion of colors…i would like to know and
draw something with them!!!

Wooster: What’s your
favorite city, neighborhood, or block, to post and/or to see street art?
/>
Mooe:  Brasil, i love that place and its crazy people
its culture and traditions!

Wooster: What inspires
you now?

Mooe:  i’m inspired by all the objects,
the little things around me everyday that are so small and habitual that i find
them difficult to note.

Wooster: What are you
currently working on?  Can you give us a sneak peek?

Mooe: 
I’m finishing six little canvas and i’m trying to create other little
green funny characters like a big family!
