Ciara Phelan - Bonbek and Pixelord “Fish Touch”

pockopeople_Final2dragged1_1  Ciara Phelan - Bonbek and Pixelord Fish Touch

Ciara Phelan recently illustrated a wonderful 18-page chapter in Bonbek’s Volume 2 magazine. If you are not familiar with Bonbek, well…it’s a magazine for kids that makes parents jealous (believe us, it’s true). Ciara has also made a beautifully surreal cover for Pixelord’s latest EP “Fish Touch”. The Russian beatmaker is world-renowned for this mix-mash of instrumental hip-hop, dubstep, 8bit bleeps and pop, and Ciara’s artwork serves as the perfect compliment to his electro-candy style. “Fish Touch” is out now on Error Broadcast.
