Geek Burning Pyrography

The Art of Pyrography by Michael O'Shields
​I have combined my love of art and pop/geek culture to create unique, handmade works of Pyro-graphic Art.

Boba Fett burning is done! The last piece signed by Jeremy Bulloch wasn't complete until we took a trip to see John Morton, the man behind the costume on Bespin!  9" x 12" Pyrography on American Basswood

It may look done but it's not quite finished....

Continued burning on Boba Fett! Worked his weapon and started his helmet!

[Geek Burning Pyrography @GeekBurning]

Burned Boba's gauntlets!

[Geek Burning Pyrography @GeekBurning]

Now we are getting somewhere! Burning continues!

[Geek Burning Pyrography @GeekBurning]

Burning his cool belt and pouches!

[Geek Burning Pyrography @GeekBurning]

I love burning his armor! I remember it being so cool when we first saw it!

Boba Time! The last piece that Jeremy Bulloch signed before his passing.

The DoD burning is complete and lives with the others in the client's office. Thank you for continuing the tradition of burning for each of his duty stations! Approximately 12" Basswood w/Live edges.

[Geek Burning Pyrography @GeekBurning]

Almost done burning, just a little more touch up!

[Geek Burning Pyrography @GeekBurning]

Burning on the outer edge letters are complete! Anything to avoid the eagle!

Continuing to burn!

[Geek Burning Pyrography @GeekBurning]

It's not just a circle! There are a lot of details to work out on this one!

[Geek Burning Pyrography @GeekBurning]

Time for a new project! I give you...The Circle!

The Jawa project was part of the Video Game Star Wars Galaxies: Beyond's 6th Anniversary! It's amazing to see my artwork hanging in houses all over the Star Wars galaxy! Thank you to SWG: Beyond for the opportunity! @SWGBeyondStaff

The Jawa project is complete! Approx. 12" x 16" on American Basswood with Gouache paint!

[Geek Burning Pyrography @GeekBurning]

Burning a fury trophy!

[Geek Burning Pyrography @GeekBurning]

Burning the Jawa mask, as a child I always just thought of it as a black hole with yellow eyes, but there is an actual head in there that needs textures!

Here is a close-up view of his Jawa-Utility-Belt! I wanted to start here to get a feel for the style it wants before heading into the main areas. Reminder, I don't recommend ever burning over chemical (color) of any kind unless you have high end protective equipment.

Colors have been applied. I want to try and start using brighter colors to offset the dark burning and create a nice balance.
