Jamie Reid and Shepard Fairey's 2012 collaboration print — Bright Future / Save Petrol Burn Cars. The image: two Rolls-Royce limousines, hood-to-hood, set ablaze, against Reid's ransom-note title strip and Fairey's signature flame and ornamental groundwork. The piece sits at the precise intersection of Reid's situationist heritage — the burning car as a foundational image of his pre-punk Suburban Press work — and Fairey's OBEY-period anti-consumerist iconography.

The Reid–Fairey collaborations represent one of the most consequential intergenerational pairings in late-twentieth-century political print culture. Fairey has spoken repeatedly of Reid as a foundational influence — the Sex Pistols campaign was, by Fairey's own account, the work that defined his approach to art and design as a teenager. The two artists collaborated in print across the 2010s; the present image was issued in three colorways, of which the pink/orange variant is offered here.
