Florianopolis, Brazil-based Clint Studio recently came up with a slew of T-shirt graphic designs titled, 'Cavalon,' which somehow manage to pull off an appealing aesthetic despite their undeniably gory subject matter.
The designs center around a twisted, torn up luchador's face. Granted, this normally does not sound like something one would want to adorn something as public as a T-shirt with yet there has been a trend in recent years towards ironically morose themes. In this respect, these Clint Studio T-shirts are quite savvy.
Though morbidity may not be everyone's cup of tea, some people can pull off the look effortlessly and to great effect, notably, rock bands, and that's precisely who these T-shirt designs were created for. The decals are punchy and full of attitude -- the perfect look for a loud, brash rock band.
