This link made my day. Thank you! I can't wait to share it with a housemate, who's an ex-sculptor. And the next time I see a hubcap lying near the street, you can bet I'll stop for it.

Amazing. Absolutely amazing.
Damn shame the Dollar/Pound exchange rate is decidedly _not_ in my favor.
*sigh*

Amazing stuff. I want one, preferably with a hubcap diamond star halo.
If I had enough money, I'd commission one with moving body parts. Can you just picture it? Giant Robot meets hubcaps!

snez, great link. I'm with frykitty - definitely not what I expected from a hubcap art site. Gorgeous stuff!

Yay! Brighton in the MeFi Area! (again).
Ufez is right. Tol, the artist, is down here on the south coast of England & these are part of the scenery round here cropping up in a fair few bars &c.

This guy could definitely sell his work for a lot more. I can imagine that swordfish in some CEO's office for an easy couple of ten thousand pounds/american. He needs a dealer, stat!

Awesome!! Thanks for the link. Those are just truly amazing. Now I have to go look at all those old hubcaps I have in the storage shed in a whole new light. :D

How riveting. These are really beautiful. The seahorse is my favorite.
