You know, for as much as people hate punk rock of any kind, is there anyone left who doesn't recognize the Sex Pistols album, "Never Mind The Bullocks, Here's the Sex Pistols." Jamie Reid was the artist who created the cover and a lot of other Pistol's artwork including pissing everyone off with his God Save the Queen posters.



Reid originally went to art school with Malcolm McLaren, who later went into the fashion field with Vivienne Westwood, while Reid founded his own radical, anarchist paper, Suburban Press. Later, McLaren recruited Reid to do work for the Sex Pistols. Subverting corporate logos, the Union Jack, and the Queen of England, Reid shocked his ransom noted, swastika'd, safety pinned, way into DIY revolutionary fame.

Now 30 years after the whole punk movement, Jamie Reid has now become recognized as an important pop culture artist releasing versions of his old punk work and his own more spiritual pieces.
