Have you ever dreamed of owning a work of art painted by the Prince of Darkness? How about if a chimp named Kramer helped out?
Ozzy Osbourne enjoys painting as a hobby, but he doesn’t typically sell his work. However, the Black Sabbath vocalist is making an exception in an effort to raise money for Save the Chimps, a sanctuary for apes rescued from labs, roadside zoos, and wildlife traffickers.

“I’ve never sold my paintings,” Osbourne posted about the auction on his Instagram. “But these abstract collaborations I did with ape artists from @SaveTheChimps are now available at Omega Auctions to raise funds for the sanctuary. Each signed painting is named for one of my songs, and there are only five, so bid now for your favorite!”
Osbourne began each canvas with a tonal background, then chimps Kramer, Sable, Sophie, and Janice added their own colorful touches to finish off the five works of art. Inspired by Osbourne’s music, the works are titled: Technical Ecstasy, Electric Funeral, Blizzard of Ozz, Tattooed Dancer, and Paranoid.
