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!! 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! |

Started burning 3PO's head, love the chrome style contrast with the yellow/golds. (When I burn over color, I wear heavy duty PPE Equipment.)

Burning in 3PO's shoulder....

R2-D2 is done! 12" x 16" in live edge Basswood. He is part of the Rancho Obi Wan Gala Fundraiser on October 5! But R2 can't go alone......

Burning more of R2's body. Not happy with the "halo" look on the background burn. I think I will burn to the contour lines when all is finished.

Here's an inside baseball picture as I burn. Reference photo on the CPU, burning tucked away safely so that I don't accidentally melt something! (Fun fact: It doesn't stop me from accidentally melting things....)
September 9, 2024
I'm going to deep burn the background to get the character to pop. When I burn over color, I wear heavy duty PPE Equipment.
