DRAWING IN CUT-OUTS posted by J

School just isn't for anyone. Bernie Reid, a London based and Edinburgh-Born (Scotland's for me!), is proof of that. Reid is all self-taught. Luck probably has something to do with it along with knowing the right people. It' always about who you know.

Reid's work is mostly stencil work with spray paint, but has started to include mixed media collage with them. He got his break when I-D Magazine positively reviewed a collaboration he did with stylist and fashion designer, Beca Lipscombe, and photographer, Andy Shaw. Since then he has worked with such clients as Stella McCartney, Dazed & Confused Magazine, Boxfresh, and many others. He has done many portraits of celebrities and musicians and graphic work for albums. Reid has also just started his own series of wall papers (pic below).
