APC ART is pleased to offer our global client base this iconic work by street art legend Shepard Fairey.

Ozzy Osbourne was a pivotal figure in music as well as pop culture for nearly fifty years.

Ozzy was initially the lead singer of iconic heavy metal band Black Sabbath; along with his song writing partner Randy Rhoads.

Osbourne and Rhodes wrote, recorded and released some of the most quintessential rock albums of the 1970s.

After Rhoads’ tragic death, Osbourne went on to have an extremely successful solo career and even had a hit television show on MTV; ”The Osbournes” chronicled the life of Ozzy’s family and aired for four seasons.

Shepard Fairey released this work in commemoration of Osbourne’s final show in Birmingham, England on July 5th, 2025.

Less than three weeks later, on July 23rd, Osbourne passed away as a result of his battle with Parkinson’s disease.

This work is a testament to Osbourne’s longevity and a tribute to his life’s work.

”The “Back to the Beginning” concert this past Saturday in Birmingham was the final Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne show ever.”

”I was unable to attend, but the video footage of the stellar lineup looked epic!”

”Black Sabbath has been one of my favorite bands for 35 years, and I’m also a big fan of Ozzy’s solo material.”

”I was fortunate enough to meet Jack and Sharon Osbourne through my friend Big Dave in 2000.”

”My relationship with the Osbournes has led to several great Ozzy and Sabbath projects over the years, including several prints, t-shirts, and the art for Sabbath’s vinyl box set, The Ten Year War.”

”For the “Back to the Beginning” show, Sharon asked me to design a poster with a portrait of Ozzy inspired by the Sabbath Volume 4 cover.”

”I was honored to see that the “Back to the Beginning” type I designed as part of the print could be seen onstage at the concert!”

”I’ve seen Sabbath and Ozzy live many times over the years, and I’m grateful for the incredible music and memories.”

”One of my biggest “I’m not worthy!” moments took place when Dave took me backstage to hang with the Sabbath guys in 2004 at Ozzfest, and bassist and lyricist Geezer Butler was wearing an Obey shirt!”

”Since I’m reflecting nostalgically, here’s a bit of my Sabbath history: I came to Black Sabbath in my late teens at a time when I was listening mostly to punk, so the faster tempo of the song “Paranoid” was immediately appealing to me.”

”It provided the gateway for me to dive into the groundbreaking “Paranoid” album and the rest of Sabbath’s music enthusiastically.”

”I often played the song “Paranoid” over and over for an adrenaline boost while skating my mini-ramp.”

”I methodically acquired all of the Sabbath albums with the original lineup, fronted by Ozzy, and they all have great material, with their self-titled debut, Paranoid, Master of Reality, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, and Sabotage all being masterpieces.”
