​Had to start somewhere so I went with dark areas around the ear. Short hair cats don't have the long hair definition that stands out when burning.

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! My contact e-mail is moo2172@yahoo.com

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

Movie Quote of the week!

Brody: What day is this?
Hooper: It's Wednesday... eh, it's Tuesday, I think.
Brody: Think the tide's with us?
Hooper: Keep kicking.
Brody: I used to hate the water...
Hooper: I can't imagine why.

I finally got to meet the Amazing Gaincarlo Esposito at AwesomeCon two weeks ago and got his signature on the Wood Burning. He was the polar opposite of what we get to see on screen. Generous with his time, so nice! Thank you again!
