Jamie Reid is one of the country's top anti-establishment artists. He is famous for his image of the Queen with a safety pin through her lip and the 'ransom note' style typography for the Sex Pistols that visualised the Punk Rock ethos.

Reid was politically active way before Punk Rock surfaced and worked with the likes of Malcolm McLaren in staging protests. In 1970 he co-founded the influential Suburban Press where he developed his 'subvertising' graphical style mainly directed at consumerism and the pending globalisation through large corporations.

A few years later McLaren recruited Reid to help with the visualisation of the Sex Pistols. Reid took this opportunity to promote his well-established political philosophy on the consumerist society. History was made; safety pins and swastika eyes adorned the Queen, Anarchy flags replaced the Union Jack and a controversy raged that hit the global press.

Through his bold and threatening and unrivalled anarchistic imagery Reid has become a one-stop shop for rebellions the world over. His Anarchic and anti-consumerism symbols and slogans are still as relevant today as they have ever been. Where would we be without 'No Future' placards and the timeless Anarchy circle?

Reid still drives the 'punk attitude' and 'do-it-yourself' approach, although he now also promotes positive, and alternative, spirituality.

Artistically Reid follows both of these paths with a passion. Take a look at 'Corporate Slavery', 'Cultural Rape' and 'Peace is Tough' and compare them with his Druid inspired 'Slated', 'The Eight Fold Year' and 'The Four Elements' and you will begin to understand where his passions lie.

The world has finally caught up with Reid; his visuals and messages are merely replaced into a modern context where they remain just as relevant and controversial.
