The Art of Pyrography
Artist: Michael O'Shields

​AS SEEN ON THE RED CARPET OF THE WORLD PREMIER OF STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI AND UNDER THE HELMET DOCUMENTARY ON DISNEY PLUS!!
​3-time WATCH Award nominations, 2019 WATCH Award Winner

Please follow me on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter!​
​I have combined my love of art and pop/geek culture to create unique, hand made, and very geeky works of pyro-graphic art.

What is Pyrography? Pyrography is the art of burning images into wood. Art is all hand burned and takes on average, depending on the size, 5 to 7 days to complete each piece.

I do accept commission work, please feel free to contact me with any questions or just want to chat!
All the prints and originals that are available. Thanks!

My contact e-mail is moo2172@yahoo.com

The 2022 WATCH award nominations were announced this past Sunday night and I'm happy to report that I have been nominated for Outstanding Set Painting in a Musical for both Beauty and The Beast and Hello Dolly! A lot of Hardwork went into painting the sets and I couldn't have done it all myself, a huge THANK YOU to everyone, especially Connie, Chip, Gabbi, and Brian, who came out and helped make these sets beautiful! Port Tobacco Players Theater was nominated for 23 nominations, showcasing the amazing talent in our area! Congrats to all our nominees!

Starting out with the lettering first. I always include the client in the decisions on font and placement. There's a lot of back and forth to get it just right for them.
