My fellow colored folk. Don't make light of our power and strength. You persevere. Its in your DNA. ✊🏾 (I didn't write this. Just sharing these strong words I saw on the web.)
Some macro crystally goodness for you. Took the chance to photograph this crystallized piece of Cholla before sending it off to its new owner! #tylerthrasher #tulsa #crystallized #cholla #alchemy #chemistry
I'm excited to announce that I'll be bringing my art back to Denver, but this time through like a real gallery and shit. I'll be showing over a dozen pieces for my "The Sun Rises at Midnight" show at the super rad @blackbookgallery The opening night is June 17th from 7-10PM I know ALOT of you have asked me to come back to Denver, so nows your chance! Admission is free of course. #tylerthrasher #denver #blackbookgallery #prayingmantis #illustration
God. Damn. This piece so far. 😫💦 Reasons I fucking love my job. #chemistry #alchemy #crystallized #goat #tylerthrasher #tulsa #contemporaryart
Another shot from my session with Holly, who absolutely knocked it out of the park! Holly wanted to contribute a shoot that normalized motherhood, and the kick ass battle scars that come with it. More and more people are standing up and illuminating the fact that beauty isn't reserved, its proclaimed and declared by who ever the fuck says so. Again, thank you Holly for contributing your courage to this series.
I want to take a moment to applaud the courage and steadfast bravery Holly had. She reached out to me to do a shoot a while back, asking if I would ever incorporate humans with her body type in my series, she had a wonderful cute little two year old, and she wears her battle scars from carrying him with pride. She was nervous about this shoot, but there's nothing more gratifying than seeing someone else (a complete stranger) come to respect and embrace themselves, and I'm telling ya, there's something about nature that catalyzes that process. Thank you Holly and offering your beautiful diversity and sharing your courage in the most inspiring of ways. ❤️

Well you see, this was gonna come with me to my pop up shop at @paxtongatepdx but I don't think I can do that. By far the CLEAREST crystals I've ever grown, so damn clear that you can see the cholla through the crystals. I fell in love and it's staying in my personal collection for now, the inside of the cholla is FILLED with crystals, so that's super cool too! Don't worry though, I have PLENTY coming with me to Portland. #tylerthrasher #crystallized #cholla #portland #paxtongate #nature #alchemy #chemistry

It is with a heavy heart that announce my resignation from the artistic community. After a horrendous accident that has torn my body asunder and left every bone in me rendered useless, my drive and ability to create has diminished. There is a darkness looming over me, encroaching on my will to even share this with you all. What is a man to do after losing everything. Damn you @target Damn you. #itcameoitofnowhere #therewassomethingwrongwiththecart #notmytarget #pleasedontgetoffended #somehowsomeonesgonnagetoffended #itslikethattimeitoldwveeyoneicrystallizedmybutthole
