Bell’s artwork was one of the greatest losses when CDs replaced LPs; there was just too much going on for the smaller artboard size to handle. Thankfully with the resurgence of vinyl, many more were able to appreciate his work as it was meant to be seen.

The influence of his artwork is on the same level as Eddie Hazel’s guitar. Snoop Dogg’s first solo album, Digital Underground’s Sons of the P… He was as vital as any musician to P Funk.
