Next time you grab a beer at Frothy Beard, be sure to look up. Local artist Shelby LeBlanc recently completed a new work of art for the brewery — a giant octopus. And while the piece is impressive in its own right, we’re most impressed with the material LeBlanc used to create the paper mache beast. Yes, y’all, your favorite old rag played a big role in the creation of Frothy’s octopus.
The eight-legged sea creature is made of almost entirely recycled materials, mostly old copies of the Charleston City Paper. We’re honored to play a part in such a magical creation.
Check out more of LeBlanc’s work on her artist’s Facebook page. Love Best of Charleston? Help the Charleston City Paper keep Best of Charleston going every year with a donation. Or sign up to become a member of the Charleston City Paper club.
