'I've seen how my stuff is presented in other shops and I'm not necessarily all that happy with it.'
, painters, sculptors, you name it — there comes a time when they want complete control over how their work is seen and displayed in public.
Elbo, who moved to Colorado in 2013, will be working with Purple Haze — one of Denver's oldest and most well-known head shops — to run his new store and hold events at it. The gallery is located directly behind a Purple Haze that opened earlier this year and is a comfortable mix between glass art studio and high-end smoke boutique, with Elbo's famous dinosaur pipes, clothing, toys and jewelry, including"Boflex" watches and dino plushies, all available to purchase.
One of the best parts about the Elbo Store is getting to check out collaborations that Selbovitz has done recently, like this Desert Brontocycler that was unveiled from him and Darby Holm.For lesser-known artists and collectors, the prices and values of glass pieces have dipped in recent years due to a variety of reasons, with popular glassblowers across the country and collectors offering up takes as to why on YouTube and social media.
Clothes, art and glass are on full display at the new Elbo Store, almost all of which are available to purchase."There's a direct correlation between weed prices and glass," he says."When people do med trades, you're, like, pegging a pound of weight to that piece. 'This piece is worth ten pounds.
In fact, some people who approach him for projects don't even know he specializes in making pipes — that's how big Elbo has become., we were talking and I showed my Instagram and I showed him a Darby, Mike Luna and me collab. And he was like, 'What the fuck is this?'" Elbo remembers."And I go, 'It's glass. He was like, 'Wait, what?' I said, 'Yea, the dinosaurs come from glass pieces that I make.
For many people, collecting glass is bigger than making money or having a cool rig to smoke out of. It's about the community that the artists regularly speak about and promote, and the hole that glass can fill in the hearts of people searching for something to connect with.
