Graphic Noise (July 28 – October 22, 2005), held at the prestigous Museum of Design in Atlanta (an official affiliate of the of the Washington-based Smithsonian Institution) was an exhibition of contemporary concert posters, featuring pieces from Michael Buchmiller, Jesse LeDoux, Jfry Craig, and many more.

Curated by Laura Moody, director of communication and exhibitions for MODA, Graphic Noise has become the stuff of legends. “It was so popular,” Moody said, “We had kids driving in from Canada from New York, Chicago, just to see this show, and so we were like, "This needs to travel."

Jfry Craig showed 8 pieces in total; limited edition canvas prints. The works were part of his War and Americana series. Many of the pieces were originally commissioned by Calgary client, Bamboo Room. These posters also formed the foundation for the artwork that makes up the postcard book WAR Made Me [do it], published in fall 2006 by Mudscout Media.
