Watermelon Bollocks
oil on canvas, 120×120 cm.

After the Sex Pistols album, Nevermind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols (U.S. edition). Original cover design by Jamie Reid.

Initially intended for destruction by the artists, “Our first impression was that there was no longer anything punk about it. But then it dawned on us that the greatest punk rock album reimagined as a desaturated watermelon is perhaps the greatest statement one could make about the co-opting of punk rock–especially its devolution from empowering movement to fashion statement.“
