Another icon from our generation gone... sigh... www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-66450958I met him very very briefly once. lots of people had his stuff which wasnt massively expensive. Proper contemporary art in my opinion, very like punk itself. RIP Jamie.  |

Oh no. Very sad. Alex ps I have 3 of those prints I knew there would be some of us on here who had some. Ive got a few too, most my mrs doesnt like so they are hidden in rooms she doesnt visit lol Thats one of the things I loved about his art, he never charged a fortune for it even when he was pretty famous so everyone who wanted some could afford it. |

Great stuff, fantastic music/fashion time. I have his 'Anarchy in the UK' design on one of Vivienne Westwoods, Seditionaires bondage shirts, which i treasure.

There were some fantastic items from that time. A few years back there was a book published, all about the shop and Ms Westwoods clothes from the punk period, which had pretty much every design of t-shirt, jacket trousers etc. in. I luckily got a copy as it seems to be very hard to find/expensive these days. It's a great reference/nostalgia piece, from what i think was one of the most exciting, vibrant and influential times in music and popular culture! Mouse |

I agree, it was an amazing time and something not seen again... unless you count the New Romantics lol The correction to middle of the road music was a short sharp slap in the face and the clothes and that coupled with the look of the fans was something the UK needed in the mid 70s... well thats my personal recollection.  For some reason even tho 1976 was hot as hell and colourful, my own memories of the era will always be in dreary black and white. :/ |

I still am a huge Punk fan. I remember NMTB coming out and getting a mate to tape it for me. I had to play it on my Walkman or my mum would have had kittens. The clothing, hair styles, art, music and those awful fanzines changed the world even though it didn't last that long. Just looked at my CDs and I have Pistols, Sham 69, The Slits, Ramones (punkish), Siouxsie, Buzzc**ks, Rezillos, the list goes on and on.

Yep much the same story here Alex, My (cheap chinese knockoff) Walkman was where most punk got played unless my folks were out and when that happened their stereo (until i got my own) was firmly on 10!  |
