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.

Hank are you trying to lead the revolution!? 💚

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

Honestly I think you’d mostly be fine?

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]
