'Artist, rebel, romantic': Jamie Reid, designer for the Sex Pistols, dies at 76

His gallerist, John Marchant, confirmed his death alongside Reid's family. In a statement, Reid was described as an "artist, iconoclast, anarchist, punk, hippie, rebel and romantic". The statement went on to say that he "leaves behind a daughter, Rowan, a granddaughter, Rose, and an enormous legacy".

Born in London in 1947, Reid enrolled at Wimbledon art school aged 16, later moving to Croydon art school, where he met the Sex Pistols' future manager, Malcolm McLaren.

Reid's best-known work was for the covers of a series of Sex Pistols releases: the pink and yellow text of their only album, Never Mind the Bollocks; God Save the Queen, the hit single banned by the BBC featuring a defaced Cecil Beaton portrait; the smashed empty picture frame for Pretty Vacant; and a doctored comic strip for Holidays in the Sun.

His poster for the single Anarchy in the UK, featuring a torn union jack, was another image that defined the iconoclasm of the punk era.
