Early last year I attended the Semi-Permanent design conference, and I was knocked out by a young, Sydney artist named Ben Frost. His artworks are the essence of popular culture, occasionally offending much like Damien Hurst. The themes in his artworks are a juxtaposition of the innocent and the sinister, with the use of seemingly innocent creatures, and exploited advertising. The graphics he uses for his artworks have a detailed, comic book quality, with the odd slashing defacement.
FYI … yes he has had an issue with copywriting.
