2014 Olympus Initial E

A commissioned piece for a young teen who loved the Percy Jackson stories, this initial is slightly above 12" and features an image of Olympus. Still shots from the movie were used to create this image; all credit for the imagining of Olympus goes to the Art Directors of "Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightening Thief (2010)."

Unfortunately, it seems the movie company itself can't be botehred to credit these folks, so I have no idea who they actually are. If anyone knows, I would appreciate the information!

Pyrography on birch
Pen: Optima 1

About the Process:

 

Each piece is first hand-drawn with pencil (brain to hand to wood). Reference photos may be used, but all designs are my own original artwork.

Then guidelines are hand-burned using a pyrography pen, and all pencil marks are erased and sanded clean.

The piece is finished entirely with pyrography (  hand-burned using a hot pen, similar to a soldering iron).

No computers are used to generate images. No lasers are used to create designs. No routers are utilized to create depth. Very occasionally, I will add bright accent tints of purple, blue, green, or red with acrylic paint; however, all non-chromatic shades are accomplished with burning, and not paints or stains.
