ABOUT THE ART
"I've been a fan of Black Sabbath for a very long time. Coincidentally, a friend of mine happens to work for Ozzy, and has planted a lot of my art in the Ozzy camp, whether simply showing it to Sharon and Ozzy or getting Jack to wear Obey shirts on the TV show. In 2004, they asked me to make the VIP band and crew shirts, which said "Black Sabbath has a Posse," with each member of the band in the original Andre sticker format. This piece here is from the poster and T-shirt I designed for Sabbath's 2005 tour."
