Hubcap Creatures

Hubcaps are just a decrative peice of metal that cover our wheels to protect them and make them look pretty. Right? Not to Ptolemy a UK artist who has found a new purpose for these discarded automobile parts. He creates beautiful animals out of what some people would consider trash.

All of Ptolemy’s creations are made from 100% recycled materials. He says “My fish try to say things about our wasteful society and about our prejudices towards value. Hopefully they will encourage people to reconsider before they discard something which apparently has no purpose”.

You can order his pieces online, or even commission a creature of your own on his website.
