EP 161 : GEORGE F BAKER III
APRIL 2024
"The messages I try to bring are as real as possible"
The only thing more delightful and colorful than the work of George F. Baker III is the huge smile and good energy the man himself brings into every room he enters. His artwork reflects his personality, bounding with intricate design and color and full of positivity and witty life affirmations. After a successful but unfulfilling career as a graphic designer in Atlanta, GFB3 abruptly shifted gears from digital client work to painting murals and personal studio work. In his first year, with no real training in mural painting, he set out to paint as many murals as possible and honed in on his craft through sheer bruit force and dedication. What emerged was a highly stylized and unique combination of character illustration and text with so much energy that it seems to pulsate on the wall.
