Jamie Reid is an anarchist and a british artist and designer. His speciality is using cutouts from newspapers and often photography cut out from newspapers to create punk rock style style abstract images, which are often crude and/or will seem offensive to some. This is mainly because he uses the Queen as a centrepiece on a lot of his pieces making her look like a punk (I'm sure she'd love that). In the majority of his peices he uses cut out letters from newspapers also which resembles ransom notes which I personally think is pretty creative. Jamie Reid is most famous for his artwork for The Sex Pistols and many of their albums artworks.
Here are some of the artworks he has done, including the Sex Pistols artwork...
As I cannot find a youtube interview with Reid to embed into my blog instead; I found an interview with The Guardian. http://www.guardian.co.uk/culture/2001/feb/28/artsfeatures.sexpistols
To find more information about him here is his site which is currently under construction, unfortunately. For me anyway... http://www.jamiereid.org/
