“Whats your go to Ozzy song?? Black Sabbath jam ?? Album?? Albums??”

This Ozzy Osbourne tribute mural, created for Paper Tiger, is a nod to San Antonio’s long-standing love affair with rock and metal. Executed in Soup’s signature greyscale photorealism, the mural captures Ozzy’s unmistakable edge and presence, pairing perfectly with the venue’s gritty, punk-forward atmosphere.

What followed was an outpouring of community love: the mural’s process video reached over 3 million views, with more than 167,000 likes and thousands of comments and shares from fans celebrating Ozzy, the venue, and the storytelling power of public art. While virality wasn’t the intention, the response speaks volumes about how deeply this piece resonated with the city’s music culture.

Supported by friends and collaborators—from photography and gear to the space itself—the mural stands as a testament to the collaborative spirit of San Antonio’s arts scene and Soup’s dedication to honoring the legends who shaped its soundtrack.
