Mike Clark - The A’s to Our Q’s:

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

Mike: I more
or less started street-art as a joke with a crew of me. We’d be putting stickers
all over the Netherlands, and a lot of people hated us for doing it. Then i
wanted to do something back, and that’s probably this.

/>Wooster: Why colored pencils?

Mike:
I wanted to do something with ‘coloring your city’. The best and most
logical way was to put actual colored pencils on the streets. I talked about it
with my girl, who is up-to-date with everything i do before it hits the streets,
and at first she wasn’t even to crazy about the idea, but then i just started
doing them. And she was also hooked, now we glue our babies all over the
netherlands.

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

Mike: Space invaders, has
always been a great admiration, the way how international he got is just crazy.
And way more, but i mostly love the unindentified stickers around the block,
the rail paintings. But there’s way more, too many too mention.

/>Wooster: What’s your favorite city, neighborhood, or block,
to post and/or to see street art?

Mike:   Rotterdam.
Rotterdam has always been crazy, especially the witterdanwit straat. Next to
Rotterdam is Amsterdam, and behind that is Utrecht, although i was in Utrecht a
week ago and there was an surprisingly low amount of stickers.

/>Wooster: What inspires you now?

Mike:
I don’t really get inspired by other peoples work, i try to do
something myself. My girl however is my inspiration. I’d do nothing without
her.

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

Mike: Being more
active with my graff characters. I’m doing those under a totally different name,
so you won’t know there mine. And that’s about it, my pencils will be going more
nation-wide with the help of ‘listig’.
