Oxyuropoda reconstruction (an aquatic arthropod, red, on the bottom of a river, with algae and fish in the background)

Hi!
As I am not very available for commissions these days BUT still receive requests from researchers looking for artists who can do scientific illustrations of arthropods and inverts, I am updating my list of potential artists, so please, if you know arthropod loving artists, let me know! #SciArt

A friend inadvertently named my series of #jewelry made from broken windshield glass when he bought one & included a note for his bestie: “You’re never broken. You are a jewel.” So, introducing the Never Broken series. Join my mail list so you don’t miss the shop drop! www.kalliopimonoyios.com

handmade reusable cloth gift bag with blue denim base and white fabric decorated with fine blue topographic lines. Tied shut with a satin ribbon

working on a pattern for these reusable gift bags for a local sustainability workshop I’ll lead in Dec. Made from #upcycled & scrap fabric. Wouldn’t it be fun if it had a gift log like the old library cards that showed how many times a book had been borrowed? #sustainable #reduce #reuse

It looks so simple but I’ve been working on this for weeks… ahem… months… on and off. Finally I can see the finish line!!! PTFE dental floss on “treeless” polypropylene paper. Yes, dental floss, people!! #more #sciart #fineart

Art and Data Team Up Against Climate Change

Amazing work #sciart

progress on this PTFE floss embroidery!! Not only do these take forever (been working on this 3 weeks now) but soon PTFE will disappear from dental floss and these will be collector’s items 😎 Already, I’m stockpiling it like Elaine hoarded the sponge on Seinfeld. Anyone? Anyone? 😬 🐡

Piping Plover family planted for an exhibit at Waukegan History Museum at Carnegie. Subtle sand colored plovers are perfect to blend in the shore in disguise. So I painted natural gravels and sand with some woods. Come and see the opening exhibit this Friday September 12, 2-4 pm. Various paintings of plants and birds will be featured.

just sold my first of these sculptures i’m using as substrates for epiphytes… so excited to make more!! The sculpture itself is made from reclaimed telephone and stereo wires and Teflon tape. More on the philosophy behind the work on my site: www.kalliopimonoyios.com/home/pattern...

six brightly colored collar-style necklaces made from crocheted wire. Think RBG but in vibrant colors

Colorado, listen up! Just visited Jesse Mathes’ mid-career retrospective at the Foothills Art Center in Golden, CO and it is a show stopper. If you’re close you must go! Her work should be at the MOMA it is so conceptually and so technically good. Go see!! #art #colorado #jewelry

still my fave drawing technique :)

was I supposed to add hashtags to this 🙄 #sciart #scicomm #artist

honored to be included on this list!!

In space, Venus flanks Earth on the left, with a hellfire greenhouse effect. Mars on the right, which long ago had running water. Today, it's bone dry. Something bad happened on each planet.

Seems like the wrong time to limit the Nation’s capacity to conduct climate research.

oh, dang, I'm drinking from the firehose! It's great, thanks :)))

Insta served this up to me this morning. Other countries are courting our scientists with promises of stable funding, secure jobs, and academic freedom. We lose our smartest at our peril. 😔

Aw, thanks, Glendon!! What'd I miss?! 🫥
