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, Gallerium-Colorium 2023 Exhibit, 2023 Astonish Magazine #32 Exhibit

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!

Miles Morales: I love chai tea.

Spider-Man India: What did you just say? Chai tea? Chai means "tea"! You are saying "tea tea"! Would I ask you for a "coffee coffee" with room for "cream cream"?

​I realized that I never shared the burned brass burning photos! The summer of 2022 St. Mary's Arts council was having a 2022 Jazz Community Art Show. This is my piece that I was lucky enough to have at the exhibit and was juried into the Astonish Magazine March 2023!

This is after the initial color and about half way through the burning process.

​I did work for Darth Vader himself, Mr. David Prowse a few years ago. Upon his death, I always wondered what happened to the artwork. I came across a post about Mr. Prowse Estate sale and, of course, I wandered down that rabbit hole to be surprised when I saw this! Sad that it is not with Mr. Prowse anymore BUT I'm glad it is going to a new Star Wars Fan's home!
