The Art of Pyrography
Artist: Michael O'Shields
​AS SEEN ON THE RED CARPET OF THE WORLD PREMIER OF STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI!
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, 3 to 4 days to complete each piece.

I do accept commission work, please feel free to contact me with any questions or just want to chat! My contact e-mail is moo2172@yahoo.com

All the prints and originals that are available can be found in the store front! Thanks!
