Jamie Reid

Jamie Reid is a British artist who designed artwork for the Sex Pistols album, Never Mind the Bollocks 

In 1947 anarchy and influential British artist Jamie Reid was born in London, England. Raised in a politically active family, Reid went to  Croydon College in London 

Reid left Croydon in 1970 Already a committed anarchist, Reid connected himself with the Situationists, a group based in France that advocated for a strain of libertarian Marxism. 

 In 1978 was the end of the British punk scene however Reid continued to work as an artist, infusing his work with his political leanings. He's worked with a lot of artists to protest nuclear weapons, racism and a fairer criminal justice system. 

This is my favourite piece of work by Jamie Reid his God save the queen poster really stood out to me among all the rest especially as he pushed the boundaries of art with the controversial interpretations from the general public regarding covering the queens eyes and mouth which in some option could  symbolise the end of the Queen like how you see in a lot of scary movies with a image of a person with their eyes scratched out which I actually like the whole rough cuts out creates texture and surface within the image all the ransom note style typography is really interesting
