Wikipedia says...
Pyrography is the art of decorating wood or other materials with burn marks resulting from the controlled application of a heated object such as a poker. It is also known as pokerwork or wood burning.***
***Pyrography means "writing with fire" and is the traditional art of using a heated tip or wire to burn or scorch designs onto natural materials such as wood or leather. Burning can be done by means of a modern solid-point tool (similar to a soldering iron) or hot wire tool, or a more basic method using a metal implement heated in a fire, or even sunlight concentrated with a magnifying lens.
This allows a great range of natural tones and shades to be achieved - beautiful subtle effects can create a picture in sepia tones, or strong dark strokes can make a bold, dramatic design. Varying the type of tip used, the temperature, or the way the iron is applied to the material all create different effects.

About me:
My name is William Burton Jr a.k.a. MadSkillz. I am a visual artist/ pyrographer and native St Louisan.***
***
Visual art has always been an essential part of my life for as long as I can remember. My mother always said that I had been drawing since I learned to hold a pencil. Its a God-given gift that I strive to respect and perfect, within myself, so I may continue to bless others with my creative visions.
The vital essence to my existence is art. Art is my internal source of communication to my Creator and its viewers. It is also my city of refuge that provides me with an escape to a world of spiritual and emotional peace.
Being a detailed artist, I was always fascinated with each and every stroke in the paintings of the Renaissance masters and that’s something I want to emulate in my work. My mission is to present the world with thought provoking art and images. The images that I create are a reflection of my world and experiences. They also shed light on the realities of life that society tries so desperately to cover up.
My personal mission is to show the world the evidence of a Divine blessing.
The amount of time spent on my work varies. It depends on a number of things - my frame of mind, a song, a personal experience, current events, the Bible, etc. These all become a source of inspiration as well as observing another artists work. The artists are a major inspiration because we breathe the same air of imagination and creation.
