I was alerted by Cliff Wiggs to an article in the June/July issue of American Craft magazine about the current figure making activity of Keith Lovik. It is a very interesting interview by Shannon Sharpe with some fascinating photos by Elena Dorfman. If you have a few extra minutes this holiday weekend, check it out.

Keith Lovik is a superb young figure maker and a fine person along with it. The expressions on the faces of Keith's 'people' are something to behold.
ReplyDeleteIt is little wonder the great Terry Fator gets Keith to build some of his puppets because Keith is a true craftsperson. Two years ago Keith built a character for me and I couldn't be happier with it. The figure I call Zork - an alienoid from the planet Dork - is exquisite and one of my prize possessions in life. People love him.
I would thoroughly recommend Keith's beautifully crafted and reasonably priced creations to anyone (beginner through to full-time professional) wanting a professional vent figure that has loads of character and lovely, easy to work mechanics. Keith is is also really easy to work with and a thoroughly reliable supplier.
Very good work. LeeDean
