RIP Pedro Bell, Funkadelic cover artist

“We lost the Master Mind behind the Graphic’s [sic] & Artwork of Funkadelic,” Collins tweeted. “Mr. Pedro Bell is an American artist and illustrator best known for his elaborate cover designs and other artwork for numerous Funkadelic and George Clinton solo albums. Thxs for yr service our brother.”

Clinton wrote on Facebook, “RIP to Funkadelic album cover illustrator Pedro Bell. Rest easy, Sir Lleb!”

The man's art and concept touched alot of us on another level. I looked forward to what the album would look like just as much as what it would sound like. His art was distributed to every corner of the globe.

For him to die penniless and in poor health is a damn shame.

I still remember the first George Clinton album I ever saw in a record store, Some Of My Best Jokes Are Friends. At that point all I knew of George was "Atomic Dog", but I still bought the album...a large part of the reason was the cover. The thing was practically a comic book and it made me want to hear what was on the record.

RIP
