Hubcaps as art is not a brand new concept. But these hubcap sculptures by Ptolemy Elrington are definitely something different. These bad ass metal sculptures look like deadly robots built by other robots to create a giant robot army meant to destroy the human race.

Cyclisk is a Nissan Public Art project in California weighing in at a hefty 10,000lb! Artists Ilana Spector and Mark Grieve are on the brink of their $37k budget with the design, engineering, development, disassembly, fabrication, transport and construction of the artefact. I'm impressed.

James Corbet says he makes these original sculptures because he can and it would be a shame to waste his God-given talent.

I’ve been a longtime fan of Jill Greenberg’s stunning and subtly manipulated photography for some time. Her incredible talent for accentuating her subject’s true personality, whether they be celebrities or animals, is uncanny. Unfortunately her latest work might find her in the midst of a lawsuit, but for now we can still enjoy these while photos they last.
