Baltimore sculptor's artistic vision driven by hubcaps!

- 

AN ASPIRING Picasso in Baltimore specializes in an unusual medium — instead of bronze or marble, the scrappy sculptor uses lost hubcaps.

An avid cyclist, Barnaby Wickham, 54, has collected more than 700 orphaned hubcaps as he rides around the city. He's also picked up a few from visits to see his son at Kent State University and even found one on a business trip to Italy.
