Baratata-tata-tata-tata. It’s the Lord of the Ludicrous. The Emperor of the Eerie. The Overlord of the Offbeat. The Monarch of the Mystifying.

Steven Rhodes has taken his rightful throne as the Oligarch of the Occult at Threadheads.

Introducing the Oligarch of the Occult: Steven Rhodes Shirts

If you’re a fan of all things dark and twisted with lashings and dollops of humour to boot, this Dominatrix of Dark Nostalgia is your retro illustrator-man. With designs inspired by 70s and 80s children’s activity books blended with sci-fi and creepy comics, there’s a Steven Rhodes shirt for every weirdo. And if you’re an absolute junkie for the Master of the Dark T-Shirt Arts, then you must mosey on over to our curated collection of devilishly dark tees. Muahahahaha.

Is Steven Rhodes a Superhuman?

We grapple with this question every single day. Steven Rhodes is synonymous with dark, twisted, and hilarious nostalgia. We know that already. So, yes, the short answer is, he must be superhuman. In fact, there is never one without the other—a bit like peanut butter and jelly or your mum and Juan the pool boy (doing a bit of Juan on Juan). It is a perfect union.

Steven Rhodes is also a fan-favourite amongst graphic t-shirt fiends. According to our biggest fans, scrolling through Steven Rhodes designs is like falling down a rabbit hole of nostalgia. And, well, there are worse rabbit holes to fall into. Like a rabbit hole of stinky cheeses or a rabbit hole of burrito-infused diarrhoea. Sorry, not sorry.

Steven Rhodes Designs: How does he do it?

You might be wondering how this masterful illustrator comes up with his dark, nostalgic designs. Do you want a sensible answer? He probably browses vintage stores and watches cult classics from the 80s. It’s probably also a product of years of digesting 70s and 80s pop culture. Our theory?

Befriends a drop bear. Hangs out with it. Rubs it for ideas.
Buys an amethyst crystal. Kisses it.
Reads every children’s activity book from the 70s and 80s. Also kisses them.
Skips steps 1 to 3. And just comes up with ideas in the shower like everyone else.

(Steve, if you’re reading this, tell us your secrets, please.) Are you ready to put on your Steven Rhodes hoodie and rub an amethyst crystal?
