​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!
