I guess that it was fairly inevitable that tribute pieces to the late Ozzy Osbourne would start to emerge, although in Bristol, I have only found two, of which this impressive piece by Tera is one. I see how much the musician meant to so many people, but I’m afraid I don’t count myself amongst them. I always thought he was a bit of an arse, and I was less than captivated by the puerile ‘fly on the wall’ documentary series about the Osbournes, but each to their own.
What is incredible about this large portrait is just how quickly Tera has adapted to upscaling his tattoo skills to large walls, literally in a mater of months. There is some great use of positioning bright colours against the greyscale portrait, which creates a certain dynamism. This piece captures the mood of Ozzy perfectly, and I rather like the epitaph ‘Rest in Darkness’.
