Black Sabbath Calgary 16 Masthay
About this poster
This AJ Masthay poster design for Black Sabbath's final tour features a striking monochromatic composition with dramatic red accents. The central figure is a haunting Grim Reaper depicted in ghostly white, complete with flowing robes and large, detailed angel wings sweeping behind it.
The Reaper is engaged in what appears to be a battle or confrontation with a massive serpentine dragon rendered in deep red. The dragon's scales and details are intricately rendered with Masthay's characteristic line work and crosshatching technique. The composition is framed by architectural elements that suggest gothic arches or cathedral windows in the background.
The band name "Black Sabbath" is prominently displayed in an ornate gothic-style lettering treatment, with "THE END" beneath it in a complementary style. The venue information "SCOTIABANK SADDLEDOME" and "CALGARY, AB" along with the date "MARCH 4, 2016" is contained within decorative banner elements at the bottom of the design.
The color palette is minimal but powerful, using primarily black and white with bold red accents throughout. This creates a stark, dramatic contrast that perfectly suits Black Sabbath's heavy metal aesthetic. The entire composition is contained within an ornate border frame that includes decorative elements reminiscent of gothic architecture and medieval manuscript illumination.
All these elements come together to create a piece that captures both the finality and gravitas of Black Sabbath's farewell tour while paying homage to their dark, heavy metal legacy.
