Trilo Temporalis, the clockwork trilobyte

Jud Turner’s the same gruesome metal worker who was responsible for the Skeleton Bicycle we posted the other day, but I like his black iron cogwork trilobyte more: it looks like something that would scurry out of the irradiated wreckage of an industrial holocaust, abiogenetically spawned from the broken and burnt gears and blades of metal of a self-destroyed civilization.

    Billions of bileous blue blistering barnacles. WANT!

    Makes me think of those machines in Dynotopia.

    It makes me think of the Machine Beach in China Mieville’s The Scar.

    Even the sand on the beach was little tiny gears. This thing could totally live there.

    Jud was very gracious about allowing me to use his images, and said he liked the triloblog. I love Trilobites!
