Creator of many legendary metal album art covers, artist Ed Repka participated in Mishka’s 2008 spring collection with his own social commentary tee, “Lobotimizer”. With work spanning Megadeth, Vic Rattlehead, Death, Nuclear Assault, Violence, Possessed, Defiance and more recently, Municipal Waste and 3 Inches of Blood, a subsequent interview reveals Repka’s thoughts on his artwork. The strong relationships seen within metal album artwork and the music itself represents an undeniable bond with the music and not without its fair share of memorable imagery. The Lobotimizer tee created by Repka is a statement on the brainwashing of youth by “The Man”. Check the interview out over at Mishka.

Back in 1999, critically acclaimed artist JK5 put together a vivid 432 page volume of his work titled Subconsciothesaurusnex. The book would go on to form the basis of this collaboration with New York’s Mishka. Over a three day span, the book was carefully dissected and repasted to create a stunning collage of the artist’s works. The collage would then be applied in various forms including t-shirts, hoodies and hats. Although both the artist and brand represent concepts and imagery off the beaten path, one cannot help but realize the perfect union created by these two entities and their flawless execution. View the entire collection along with background information over at Mishka.
The wide sweeping effect of fixed gear riding has resulted in the creation of Mishka’s own fixed gear team of riders. The Death Adders Road and Track (D.A.R.T) Cycling Team groups together some of the areas most prominent and innovative riders around, in hopes they bring a sense of innovation and creativity to the sport. For the Brooklyn based brand, a bike team was a natural progression for an aspect of their every day culture.
Sharing the same warehouse building, Mishka quickly developed a friendship with artist JK5 which was spurred by common hobbies. The two embarked on a special Spring collection which among the pieces are a New Era fitted cap seen here as well as other apparel set to release in mid-February.

Other than the New Jersey Devils, both Vancouver and Minnesota have changed logos. The Vancouver Canucks currently utilize a Orca logo while the Northstars are the Dallas Stars.
