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!

Movie Quote of the week!
