Podcast with Keith Lo Bue

Here's the coolest thing about my job:  many, many years ago I saw Keith Lo Bue's work and was just blown away. Wow. What amazing stuff! I looked and looked at it and wondered about the mind that created such intricate, imaginative, wonderfully detailed pieces.  What I wouldn't give to talk to this guy, ask him questions about his work, find out what inspires him.

You know?

In the intervening years, not only have I gotten to interview Keith and ask him a bunch of nosy questions (the results will be in the next issue of Belle Armoire Jewelry, on newstands next Tuesday), but I've met Keith in person and been entranced by his speech and slide presentation at Adorn Me! last year in Houston, done some little videos, gotten some great photos. 

And now we get to talk! He's in Australia, many miles away, and it's astounding that our conversation sounds as clear as it does. The few little hiccups are not Keith; they're Skype. And that intermittent little roar in the background is, I think, traffic noise--he's in Sydney, so he has actual traffic, as opposed to me: I have just wind chimes.

Anyway, Keith is a delight. He's even more fun in person--and yes, he does give great hugs and cheek kisses, an art form unto itself, as any Southerner will attest.

Enjoy, and go here to look and be enthralled~~
