Here are some of the more bizarre trilobite links I've come across the last few months while presenting my artowork on this blog. Trilobites fluttering everywhere...
With over 6 billion people on the planet, you'd think I'd know that no idea is probably completely original any more. But I was still shocked (and later delighted) to see another site featuring trilobites with wings. The award-winning online comic Girl Genius by Phil & Kaja Foglio has just that, in the form of the Heterodyne logo. I suppose the juxtaposition is what is entrancing about the idea of a trilobite with wings. I've developed it after seeing the extended pleura halfway down the body of some trilobite families. What Girl Genius does is evoke an Eqyptian scarab. The comic has many avid fans, one of who alerted me to the similarity, (thanks Luna_the_Cat!) The comic is delightful and the artwork just brilliant.

Trilobite Cookies!

The very cool work of Peter Lynn. Trilobite kites!
Trilobite molecules. Over 15 000 species wasn't enough, now they're invading physics. Run while you can!
Apparently, there is also a band...
You can never miss the best resource page online, by Sam Gon III, A Guide to the Order of Trilobites. There's even a pin-up once a month. Shake that pygidium! There's even a page about trilobite imposters, like those pesky isopods that fool so many people.
Three very cool words put together:
Robot. Trilobite. Vacuum. by Electrolux! I want one. Or two, they could mate and the robot uprising could start to evolve.
Has The Flying Trilobite missed anything else truly strange and wondrous? Please post a link!
Now I'm off to Calgary and the Alberta badlands for a week! I'll have lots of blogable material and hopefully some new drawings.

I wish there was a Trilobite breakfast cereal.
Thanks for your post, Luna_the_cat!
