Braveland Design, formed by native Texan Dave Bravenec — best known for his recent work for the Beastie Boy’s Grand Royal Record label — has carved out his own unique niche. Depicting what some may call “mythological creatures and places,” Bravenec has taken familiar pop-culture shapes and forms and reconstituted them into graphic gold.

Themes of crop circles, giant octopi and the Loch Ness Monster are always stylish and you can find them on a number of t-shirts and accessories in the Braveland store. Also, look for the new “werewolf” hoodie sweatshirt with felt appliqué.

After you’ve completed your tour of the store, be sure to check out the Braveland portfolio (in the “Studio Section,” top of the pop-up screen) for more details on Bravenec’s other work.
