No bird who swims through air or seablue sky
No creature, (not so far as I can tell)
Can swim so fast, so fleet and without care
As Arsinoe, with her diving bell...

I thought it had the resemblance of a trilobite as well. And yes, I love your "trilobite ghost" image... very cool. I have a few trilobite shapes in my "Prehistoric Morning" image, an older piece. I'd love to revisit it and make a new version, now that I have a bit of experience with my programs. They're such interesting forms, and I'd love to do something more along those lines...

that would surely be cool to make a new version of that... some things are worth doing that... i sometimes do that with some works of mine... often comes out something completely new, but better that the original version... :D
as to trilobites, many years ago i liked to look at the works of ernst haeckel, do you know him?

I love Ernst Haeckel's work, and have studied him at great length! I am fascinated with his illustrations of radiolarians. He is a very big influence on my work; I'm glad you mentioned him!
