Jamie Reid- R.I.P.

[South-Punk Admin]

Southend Punk was sad to hear of the passing of Artist and Anarchist Jamie Reid, aged 76. (16th January 1947 – 8th August 2023). The word iconic is much overused these days, but Jamie's work with the Sex Pistols truly was. His best known works include the Sex Pistols album 'Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols' and the singles and promotional material for 'Anarchy in the UK', 'God Save the Queen' (based on a Cecil Beaton photograph of Queen Elizabeth II and described by Sean O'Hagan of The Observer as 'the single most iconic image of the punk era'), 'Pretty Vacant' and 'Holidays in the Sun'.

Thanks for all the inspiring art...


R.I.P. Jamie
