Steven Spazuk is a fire artist.
If you don’t know what that means, you’re not alone, as it’s not everyday that you hear of somebody who “casts aside traditional tools such as paintbrushes in favor of painting with fire.”
His finished products are nothing short of amazing, and he gets there by “attacking the paper with the flame of a Zippo windproof lighter and other fire tools and then retouching his designs by etching patterns with natural bird feathers and blades.”
“The flame is something that truly inspires my art,” Spazuk said. “Once I found my way of working with fire, I knew it would become my voice and I should be committed to that craft. A Zippo lighter has always been a part of my toolbox, and I also love how it can be a piece of art in itself. To me, it’s both a muse and a tool, so Zippo is a stimulating brand to work alongside.”
Spazuk said that the idea of flame art came to him in a dream, and it’s something he has worked on perfecting for the last 14 years. You can watch that dream come to life in the amazing clip below.

The folks at Zippo returned the favor by taking one of Spazuk’s creations and slapping it on a limited edition lighter. For less than 40 bucks, this puppy can be yours.
