Description

For SirJohn...I hope you like it!? OZZY OSBOURNE John Michael Osbourne was born on December 3, 1948 in Birmingham, England. Throughout an extraordinary career, which has so far spanned three decades, Osbourne has made major contributions to the worlds of music and popular culture. As co-founder, lead singer, and songwriter for Black Sabbath (1970-79) he was, in effect, a chief architect of the genre now known as "heavy metal", creating the powerful new sound and provocative performance style that would forever expand the definition of rock music. Black Sabbath has sold more than 25 million records in the U.S. alone. Sketch done with 5H, B, 2B Pencils and .3 H, .5 B, and .7 B Mechanical Pencils. Frame, Dove, Rose, Name Plate, Background and Soft Focus done through PSP 7 & 8.

YES!!!! You are the BOMB! Thank you for doing this wonderful image... I think it turned out fantastic. Having been a hard-core 'metal head' for the last 20+ years I have to say that there is not one single person in the world of music I respect more than Ozzy Osbourne. If I could just meet him once to thank him for all he has done it would almost be a dream come true. For now I will be content to thank you instead for taking the time to capture him so. You rock Cheryl, thank you!

Very cool, and in the words of Ozzy, "You are a bleeding artist..." Okay, maybe not the best of messages, but this is well done as always, love the hair and the tattoo work...

I think you have found my impasse. As a budding physicist holding 40 pounds of U238 in my hand I know what "heavy metal" is but have no idea what that has to do with music. Being depleted, U238 is, surely, the pinky ring of energy.
