Next up in our daily Artists to Watch column is Brisbane based artist, Steven Rhodes. The team at Strutten suggested this great artist as someone who they think will be doing great things in 2012, and we have to agree. Steven Rhodes is an “.. illustrator and graphic designer creating quirky and playful images.”

I mean, combining aliens with cats with beards, and fish with urban scenery? Pure genius. His previous life incarnation as a landscape architecture also feels like it comes through in some of his imagery,  and we think that’s kinda beautiful.
