Max began his art career as a psychedelic poster artist for the infamous Grande Ballroom in Detroit, Michigan in the late 60’s. Much of his highly-collectible early work is featured in the “The Art of Rock”, the definite guide to rock ‘n’ roll poster art.
He relocated to Eureka Springs, AR, in 1975 & is well-known for his intricate pen & ink fine art & his series of posters for many Eureka music events such as the Jazz, Blues, Bluegrass, Classical Music & Folk Festivals. From 1975 - 2017; Eureka Springs experienced over 40 years of Max Elbo's wonderful art!
Max called himself a "reef fish" & considered Eureka to be his "reef"; i.e., "an individual living among or in close relation to complex ecosystems with tremendous biodiversity"; a uniquely Max-like perspective of Eureka Springs.
