Some Illustrators are born to fantasy art, but others are called. When Ed Mironiuk‘s counterculture sensibilities take a detour into the realms of the unreal, his creations take a decidedly dangerous fantasy edge.

A few of Mr. Mironiuk’s most beautiful women are ordinary enough, but seem to serve dark, tentacled masters. A precious few of his most gothic gals while certainly creatures of leather and smoke, also burn with a smoldering magic heat.

While his tattoo and fetish traditions most often conjure visions of the dangerously enticing, and only tease us with hints of otherworldly purpose, we patiently wait for Ed’s next foray into the wilder side of dark erotic fantasy.
