The Art of John Dyer Baizley

John Dyer Baizley, a singer/guitarist for the band Baroness also creates the fantastic artwork used by the band.  His work is obviously influenced by Mucha -- it's sort of Mucha on drugs -- reminiscent of the artwork Malcolm Mac Neill did with William S. Burroughs for their unpublished book Ah Pook Is Here. Link from Heretodestroy via Sweet Station -- both contain examples of Baizley's work; Sweet Station's are more accessible.  
And, N.B., I learned while researching this post, that Ah Pook Is Here is about to be published.  The website and art work (linked above) is definitely worth a look (navigate to the left or use the links on the bottom to get into it).
