The Hubcap!!



Really a hubcap?

Sometimes once the hubcap is decorated you can't tell if it ever was a hubcap. This really is one.

My Favorite Car, The Delorean

I would like to own a Delorean Hubcap someday.
I wouldn't paint it, just clean it real good and hang it on the wall.
I've seen a few Deloreans in person.... I hope to drive one or own one someday!

waiting by a tree

these guys were just hanging out in the south city, waiting for someone like me to come along! (summer 2010)

last summer I worked on these in my dining room, painting them by hand. over the winter, recently moved to a larger production space in the garage.

more shots of the first.

looking through old pictures, I found these shots of the 'footrest' I had in my college dorm room.

The first ever!

I found this guy as sophomore in college. It was in my room as a foot rest. I found it one day by a shuttle bus stop just off campus and watched it for a few days, then carried it home. Back then many people thought I was funny for having it. It was pretty funny. Several people tried to determine what type of vehicle it came from. Then one day my friend Kevin told me he thought it was from one of the campus shuttles. I like to believe it did. Here's a few shots with it.

Happy Birthday Cassie!

Happy Birthday Cassie! Enjoy this cap. I enjoyed seeing it in my basement when I walk down my stairs but now Cassie can enjoy it forever! Unique hubcap design and good color choice.
