   Ed Repka's Blurbs
About me:
A connoisseur of the grotesque and proponent of supernatural realism, Ed Repka is known worldwide for his illustrations of Vic Rattlehead, Megadeth's skeletal mascot, which for over a decade have adorned CD covers, posters, t-shirts, and hordes of other metal merchandise.

Regarded as the undisputed king of "Thrash" metal art of the '80's, he specializes in menacing reminders of impending apocalypse, and grim visions of the irradiated aftermath. His vibrant abuse of color and shadow combined with darkly satirical characterizations form his distinctive style which has garnered commissions from clients such as Atlantic Records, Brockum, Capital Records, Earache, Metal Blade, Ryko, Roadrunner, Screamin', Topps, and others for use on CD covers, video covers, posters, trading cards, t-shirts, toys, and comics.

In 2002 he became Art Director of NECA where he designs, sculpts, paints and directs the successful action figure lines, Headknocker bobble-head figures and other collectibles.

Repka graduated with honors from Parsons School of Design with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in illustration.
Who I'd like to meet:

Attention Art Directors, Editors, Bands, Publishers, Ed's work is the perfect choice to commission for your next CD cover, Gig Poster, DVD Release, Comic Cover etc. Professional inquiries only, please.

Hey Ed,
 Love the Lobotomizer artwork for the Faith Or Fear "Instruments Of Death" CD as well as all your other work!!
 I played around with these images, I work with "Faith Or Fear". I hope there is no copyright infringement, this is not really an official advertisement, but if you have any problems with this let me know and I will remove it!

   "MERRY CHRISTMAS"

Hi there Ed Repka!!

To me it is really an honour to have you as a myspace friend, since i grew up
with all the Thrash/Death Metal bands from the 80's & 90's that had your artwork, and every single album cover that had your artwork, also had really great music!
I used to spend hours absorving the album covers, while listening to the music that you made of some of my favorite bands, and to this day i still have to take my time to really apreciate any drawing that you make.

I wish you could put all your drawings in a book, that would be really awesome, i really hope that you can make that happen.

You should include in you pics galery Vio-lence's Eternal Nightmare album cover, that cover is one of my favorite album covers that you have made, i'm lucky to have the t-shirt with your artwork, to this day it still amazes me!

 Thank you for having made such an inportant contribute to heavy music!!

All the best with your work!
