Frequently Asked Questions:

I Get a lot of questions through DMS, So I Wanted to address the most frequent ones in one space

How long have you been woodburning?

On and off for 9 years. I used to wood burn for like a week or two, then drift off to do other things for 4-6 months. I also used to burn animal bones to make runes and other more specialized spiritual and ceremonial accessories.

Jan 2024 was my first chicken burning. And currently I have been burning since late March 2025 after a yearish break.

What is your pyrography machine?

I use:

- a generic versatool for geometric pieces

-Walnut Hollow Creative Woodburner Wire tool

- my main machine is a WEP 939D-II

Open commissions?

Not currently. They may be accepted on a case by case basis but I have an upcoming solo show in December at a local hospital. Only commissions that would be accepted in theory are pets/animals.

Did you always want to be an artist?

Yes, since kindergarten

Do you have a TikTok?

I had one for a grand total of 4 hours one afternoon in 2024

Will you be a part of my group or duo show? Or do a Solo?

Sure? I do live in northeast Ohio and have a neurological condition that makes plane travel absolutely awful, so I may not show up to the opening, but my art will.

How do you choose your warmups?

If the algorithm shows me something I enjoy, I'll maybe try to burn it.

Where can I buy your work?

at Art Luvas LLC in Houston, shows, if you randomly text me a photo of a painting and you say you wanna buy it. I'm not picky.

Do you have Synesthesia?

I get asked this a lot. I'm not sure. I think I just watched the visualizer for Windows media player too often as a child because that's what I see in my head when I hear certain songs.

Do you have any formal art training?

No. I actually failed all of my art classes from high school on. I am probably the one person to get an F in photography. I majored in psychology with a minor in sociology in college, and dropped out after 4 years for several reasons. This is hilarious because I got my first gallery show several months after failing my college drawing 101 course. I gave my art professor prints of my first gallery work. He returned them graded. We have fun.

I like the piece you made, where can I get it framed?

One of the portions on my website will be prefered framers by region. Currently my framer recommendations only include three states. So I may contact you a few weeks after you recieve the piece and ask about who you went with/their website so I can link them.

Personally, I have found that taking a backing out of a picture frame and replacing it with the piece works great.

Can you come out and draw my animals directly?

No Geese. When I was a freshman in college I went on a date with a lovely gentleman and he decided to hiss back at a wild goose. It promptly told all its geese friends and from then on, we have had conflict. Fourteen years later I feel like geese still have an active BOLO for me.

Other than that, yeah I mean I can travel to your place and take photos of your animals. Fair warning though, the water in rural Kansas ruined my giblets so thoroughly that I can only eat like six things safely and almost two years out I still puke an inordinate amount, but I mean... if you're cool with occasional random gagging, and someone that appears "too sweaty" at any given moment, sure.
