The
album's title was derived from a poem written by the band's friend Gary
Blackman. Kantner explained that the title translates to "After Taking
LSD", "Baxter" being the group's code word for the drug.
The cover
art was designed by Ron Cobb, then a political cartoonist for the Los
Angeles Free Press. The front cover depicts the band as a World War
I-era triplane with the body of a San Francisco townhouse. Cannabis
plants are shown growing out of the house's flower boxes. The artwork is
framed with a red bar on the bottom and a blue bar with white stars on
the top, signifying the United States flag. The plane, painted in full
color, dispenses confetti while flying over a black and white landscape –
embodying the white of the flag – with billboards reading messages such
as "CONSUME!" and "DRINK IT" as parodies of American consumerism. The
illustration continues onto the back cover, revealing a scrapheap
followed by a pile of empty beverage cans. A banner attached to the
plane displays the album's title. In 2008, Cobb's original painting sold
at auction for $24,000.
John Hartford referenced the cover art from
After Bathing at Baxter's as the inspiration for his song "Steam Powered
Aereo Plane" from his album Aereo-Plain.
The gatefold artwork
consists of a handwritten track listing and photographs taken by Alan
Pappe of each band member. Author Ken Bielen writes the lack of a group
portrait highlights the members' individuality. The inner sleeve
features Blackman's poem and drawings by the band and their friends, one
of which was almost rejected by RCA on fear it would be misinterpreted
as a vulva.
