Artist Recycles Old Hubcaps Into Stunning Animal Sculptures

ADVERTISEMENT

Ptolemy Elrington knows exactly what to do with all of those wheel hubcaps you see littering the side of the highway. He’s spent the last 12 years recycling them into beautiful and elegant animal sculptures!

For something that’s made from road-side trash, his pieces sure do sell for a lot – his sculptures can fetch anywhere from £200 to £10,000! Check out his work to see what can be done with everyday bits of trash!

You've spent time hating art made from junk and hadn't seen it all yet? You've achieved "crotchety" already.
