ED MIRONIUK After amassing a successful track record as an illustrator and animator with notable projects for MTV and Saturday Night Live, Ed embarked on a journey to channel his artistic prowess into tangible creations. “Needle felting,” he explains, “provided me with a fresh perspective, encouraging me to explore three-dimensional forms instead of confining my vision to two dimensions.” Hailing from New Jersey, this accomplished artist introduces us to his remarkable series of “Felt Fiend Sculptures.” This captivating portfolio spans a spectrum of emotions, from exuberantly joyful anthropomorphic ice-cream sundaes and teeth to movie characters who radiate delight, even if their on-screen personas suggest otherwise. His artistic contributions have garnered recognition and acclaim, gracing the pages of esteemed publications such as Cineplex magazine and the Globe, as well as earning accolades from LA Weekly. Furthermore, his works have consistently captivated audiences, leading to a series of highly coveted, sold-out exhibitions in prominent gallery settings. Ed’s primary objective is to craft whimsical and uplifting artworks that elicit smiles from those who behold them. Employing subjects that may not typically evoke happiness only amplifies their quirky and delightful charm.
