John Baizley is a painter and musician based in Savannah, Georgia. He is notable for his album cover art and t-shirts. Baizley's artwork is very intricate and detailed usually consisting of iconic imagery, warm colors, and esoteric elements. He repeatedly uses the female form in a very stylized way to tell a story within each work. "My goal is to find a narrative and theoretic balance without seeming either too overtly pretentious or too simple and comical" (John Dyer Baizley). His style is heavily influenced by the famous artist Alphonse Mucha. In an interview for the April 2012 issue of Juxtapoz Magazine, Baizley talks about his process and the different meanings behind his work. He also stresses his hate for self-promotion and until recently he only sold his artwork at Baroness shows to make the transaction much more personal and pure between him and the buyers.
