Johnson's art is crafted through pyrography, the technique of decorating wood by burning designs onto its surface with a heated tool. This turns each piece into a work of art drawn with fire.

He then starts to burn the line drawing. This process takes days, as one has to stop for breaks due to the smoke coming from the burning wood. After this process, colour is applied on the wood.
