Description: Mob Rules - Black Sabbath: ALBUM COVER What is a dream? What is a nightmare? If you are an artist you have both and at some point in your career you paint them. Mob Rules was a nightmare, one that haunted me for many years. I finally painted it in 1970 and Black Sabbath wanted it for their album cover of Mob Rules in 1981. This is a sketch for that painting. Now that seemed to work out well for both of us. The album was a great success. It was voted #1 Heavy Metal Cover of all time by Imagine FX magazine fans, I never had the nightmare again after I painted it. The fans loved the art, so much so that they make up legends about the painting. To this day whenever I get interviewed I am asked why I painted, Ozzie Must Die, into the piece. Did I?
