New Year, New Creativity

When you get tired of playing in the snow (we never thought we'd say that in Charleston), you might enjoy a good book and a cup of tea. Fishing For Elephants is a new book by local (and nationally recognized) artist, illustrator, teacher, and author Larry Moore.

If you are a creative, or a collector who would like a peak into the creative process, Larry has so much wisdom and life experience to offer. Plus, he's really funny. Larry's specialty is teaching creatives how to think for themselves, how to get out of the comfort zone, and how to create authentic art. (Also, keep an eye out for Art Mecca's own Robin Howard's work which was featured as an example of assemblage art.)

This book is a fantastic read and the perfect companion for a snowy (!!!) weekend. We're here, so come warm up - then take a walk down to the Horton Hayes Gallery on State Street to see Larry's work. Stop by their studios and you can meet Larry in person and watch him work his magic.
