This captivating book is filled with puzzling conundrums that promise to engage readers of all ages. Each page is designed as a double-spread puzzle, challenging readers to find Ozzy amidst a backdrop of heavy metal artwork. The graphics draw inspiration from iconic albums like “Blizzard Of Ozz” and “No More Tears”. Not merely a fun activity, “Where Is Ozzy?” is a homage to Osbourne’s legendary status and his lasting impact on music and pop culture, ingeniously blending entertainment with music history.

The creation of “Where Is Ozzy?” is a notable endeavor by David Calcano, a creative force behind Fantoons. Calcano’s artistic vision is supported by his extensive experience in animation and storytelling.

This book, like many of his other projects, showcases his knack for blending music with storytelling through animation. Fantoons, under Calcano’s guidance, specializes in compelling cross-platform narratives that resonate with audiences, securing a footprint in both the worlds of animation and music.

Equally important to the vividness of “Where Is Ozzy?” are the contributions from artists Alberto Belandria, Juan J. Riera T., Larissa Rivero, and Jorge Mansilla. Based in Spain, these artists bring unique talents to the project, each seasoned in their craft from character coloring to detailed inking and background art. Their collective experience working on diverse projects—ranging from animated series like “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” to collaborations with celebrated rock bands like Rush and Alice Cooper—ensures that “Where Is Ozzy?” is as much an art piece as it is an interactive experience.

Fantoons, co-founded by Calcano and Linda Otero, is renowned for delivering stories with compelling visual worlds. Its reputation is fortified by successful past publications like “Motörhead: Where Is Lemmy?” and “Rush: Where Is Geddy, Alex And Neil?” The studio’s ability to capture the essence of artists and bands has won it acclaim from venues such as Rolling Stone and CNN. With “Where Is Ozzy?”, Fantoons continues its legacy of producing quality content that indulges fans in rich, animated worlds.
