Some art therapy for ya.

Scorpion crystallized in my lab.

Bobcat skull crystallized in my studio/lab!

Chameleon crystallized in my studio/ lab.

Tiny ass plant from the greenhouse

The first opalized flower! This is a single flower stem encased in layers upon layers of silica nano particles that hardened to form precious opal! Much like a radiant opal tomb 🤣. Much more to come.

Don’t tell me not to opalize a dead moth. I will opalize a dead moth.

STOP WHAT YOU’RE FUCKING DOING! Look at this full spectrum opal I grew!!!! The camera can’t really handle the reds. ITS SO VIBRANT HOLY SHIT!

Check out this opal I grew! It appears completely white but displays the entire visible spectrum as it’s rotated around a light source. White light enters the structure and is split into individual wavelengths.

When will we FUCKING HEED THE MESSAGE BUG’S WAS TRYING TO TEACH US!!!

Yeah worn out over the world’s worst people blaming autism.

An opalized flower is such a niche fucking thing. Like there’s a part of my brain that’s saying “what if no one gets it”. Like I’ve spent so many years obsessing over opal and opalized objects so what if I’m a bit too biased!? lol

As of today my art and business has generated over 80,000 sales. I had no handout, jumpstart or access to resources. Black and brown artists please hear me out, are allowed to take up space and despite what we’re shown there is plenty to take up.

Today I learned that aphid babies are born pregnant and I think that’s enough nature for a minute.

Love my clown ass family

This guy is about to get the crystal treatment ✨

This is the Crassula “thrashula” the very first hybrid I made! It’s very cute and smells like maple syrup in the fall.

New Tyler Thrasher DLC just dropped. Just whipped up blue opal in my studio/ lab. I’ve always wondered if I could impregnate my synthetic opal with a pigment and the answer is “sort of”. I think I went a little heavy handed on it. I’ll have to dial back the amount of pigment next time.

Crystallized cicada synthesized in my studio/lab!

🥵 yall ain’t ready

When I was a kid I never expected that my full time job would be crystallizing insects. And when I started doing that I never expected my business to sell glowing flowers. And when I did that I never expected to make the world’s first opalized specimens. Keep goin yall.

My gut microbiome needs some DEI.

Made some changes to my opal recipe today and they all FLOPS, which from a science standpoint is very exciting. ANY and ALL data we can collect from an experiment is a success. Even the data that seemingly disappoints.

Thank you to everyone who placed a Valentine’s Day order. Holy fuck.

Them eggs will be worth it I’m sure of it!

Holy fucking shit you guys. We just dropped our Valentine’s Day collection and it’s almost completely sold out!!! We created over 100 unique and one of a kind glowing bouquets and I can’t believe they’re almost all gone!

He’s gonna give Kanye a position isn’t he…

My 6 year old: “fart sock!” “What?” [pulls down his pants, farts in a sock and literally throws it in my fucking face]

“Blacks don’t need the vaccines. Save them for the whites”. RFK hints vaguely toward “studies” to justify eugenics. White friends, I hope you understand the privileges afforded to you. You don’t have government candidates segregating your health.

It’s not much, but if you need a little pick me up, I’ll be unveiling the world’s first opalized flower on Valentine’s Day 😌. Made/synthesized in my studio/ lab.

I came up with this idea of glowing flowers because I wanted a magical alternative to bouquets you toss after 2 weeks. These pieces will last your whole life and glow when exposed to sunlight or UV light! I am listing 100 unique glowing bouquets on my site at noon today! Tylerthrasher.com

We’ve sold over 2,000 glowing flowers this month already. Holy crap guys. Thank you.

Nbd just Robert Pattinson and Zendaya standing in front of my art (displays of glowing flowers and crystallized specimens).

I set out to be a self funded and successful artist. That was before I decided to spend my free time bullying Target on social media.

Reminder that I’ll be unveiling the world’s first fucking opalized flower on Valentine’s Day.

OpenAI scraping our collective intellectual property and then getting upset that deepseek might’ve done the same to them is not the double standard I wanted to see today. Hahahaha fuck all of them.

Showing my son the motherfuckin Dinteranthus

There will come a day when we quit taking tech bro’s words at face value.

Is it time to create the world’s first opalized scorpion!?

A cicada crystallized in my studio/ lab. Also all insects I use for my work are already dead. I’m not out here fucking killing bugs to crystallize.

I am a FUCKING WIZARD!!!!

Another teaser of the world’s first opalized flower. You can really see the color shifts as light moves around it. I can NOT wait to reveal this to yall on Valentine’s Day.

You’re looking at a close up of the world’s first opalized flower synthesized and created in my lab/ studio. The opal exhibits every color on the visible light spectrum as changes color as the angle of light changes. The little brown fragments are of a flower permanently encased in the opal.

One time I had an art show in Philly. Molly went with me. I was busy talking to a guest at the show when I realized a large man had Molly cornered and she looked uncomfortable. I approach the man and introduce myself. His response? “I was just telling your wife she had nice teeth. Very nice canines”

One instance in which the thing would prefer to be called by its scientific name.

A little poster I illustrated of my favorite black/ dark succulents.

I’ve successfully created the world’s first opalized flower. I’ve been up all night editing photos and videos for the official reveal and yall aren’t ready.

I will be unveiling the world’s first opalized flower on @hankgreen.bsky.social ‘s Project for Awesome feb. 14th. Literally a flower encased in full spectrum lab grown opal. The first in the world. You’re not ready.

I had a show a while back with some crystallized cicadas hung on a wall. Someone walked up to one of the pieces, shook their head slowly and then walked away.
