Pedro Bell, the artist responsible for Funkadelic and George Clinton's classic album covers, has died
details Bell’s influences and describes how his unique visual style collided with Funkadelic’s groundbreaking fusion of funk and psychedelic rock.
“[Bell] particularly liked the distinct and disturbing packaging of Frank Zappa albums,” the bio reads. “It gave a special identity to the artist and to the fans who dug it. It plugged you into your own special shared universe. So he sent elaborately drawn letters to Funkadelic’s label with other samples. George Clinton liked the streetwise mutant style and asked him to do thealbum cover in 1973. That was the moment Funkadelic became everything we think about them being.
“More crucially, his stream-of-contagion text rewrote the whole game,” the bio continues. “He single-handedly defined the P-Funk collective as sci-fi superheroes fighting the ills of the heart, society, and the cosmos. Funk wasn’t just a music, it was a philosophy, a way of seeing and being, a way for the tired spirit to hold faith and dance yourself into another day. As much as Clinton’s lyrics, Pedro Bell’s crazoid words created the mythos of the band and bonded the audience together.
