Check out these amazing Hubcap creatures. I know they're artworks, and created for the sheer difficult beauty of creating them, but in the current context of the massive oil spill off Spain and Portugal, I see them attracting irony like magnets.

Hubcap fish are just the thing, really, to restock the waters around Galicia. We could recreate an artistic metaphor of a vibrant ecosystem from the SUVs and BMWs of the economic system that destroyed it.

Too bad that when the last tree is cut, the last river poisoned, and the last fish dead, we will discover that we can't eat hubcaps.
