Jamie Reid Archive Works

Archival work kept by John Merchant, who has worked with Jamie Reid for over 25 years.

The archive works cover all eras of the artist's career, from his university days to original drawings and prints from the Suburban Press, the infamous intuitive thrills of the Sex Pistols era and the post-punk ‘How To Become Invisible’ project.

Here is a selection of some of the work held in the archive.
