John Baizley is a painter and musician based in Savannah, Georgia. He is notable for his album cover art and t-shirts for artists including Kylesa,... Pig Destroyer, Darkest Hour, Daughters, Skeletonwitch, Torche, Cursed, Black Tusk, Kvelertak, Vitamin X, Flight of the Conchords, The Red Chord, Gillian Welch and his own band, Baroness for which he is the singer and rhythm guitarist. Choosing to work mostly with fairly small bands rather than big name bands, his work is instantly recognizable in the heavy music scene. Baizley's artwork is very intricate and detailed usually consisting of iconic imagery, warm colors, and religious or sometimes anti-religious 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" . In an interview for the April 2012 issue of Juxtapoz Magazine, Baizley talks about his process and the different meanings behind his work.
