If you’ve ever stumbled across a retro looking print that looked like it had taken a turn into the occult, chances are you’ve already met the wickedly clever world of Steven Rhodes!
Based in Brisbane, Australia, Steven is a graphic artist and illustrator whose work takes the quirky nostalgia of the 70s and 80s and gives it a dark yet humorous twist.
His Sinister Seventies collection, featuring iconic designs like Let’s Summon Demons and Pyrokinesis For Beginners, has become instantly recognisable in alternative fashion and pop culture.
Let's Talk To Ghosts Steven Rhodes Black Tote Bag
What looks like wholesome childhood innocence at first glance quickly reveals itself as something much stranger, funnier, and perfectly twisted!
Steven blends his love of both retro nostalgia and dark humour into designs that always catch eyes! His work perfectly bridges the gap between the kitschy and the creepy, which makes it such a hit with creatives, goths, weirdos, dopamine dressers, and anyone who likes their art with a little bite.

Steven’s designs have even gone global, you can find his licensed collections stocked at Hot Topic, Spencer’s, and HMV, as well as collaborations with cult brands like Threadless, Killstar, and Cavity Colors. He’s also worked with some of horror’s most beloved franchises, including Halloween, Chucky, Ghost Face and Terrifier.
When he’s not creating his macabre masterpieces, Steven keeps things quiet at home. He spends his free time trawling through vintage stores (always on the hunt for inspiration) and, as he cheekily notes, “not speaking to strangers.”
