GH avisualagency:
GH avisualagency (also known as Graphic Havoc and GHava) is an art collective based in Brooklyn, NY. Founded in Atlanta, GA in 1994, the group of five artists works within the overlap of art and design to explore the collaborative process and its effects on both fine art and commercial design. Each member pursues his own individual artistic goals then brings that experience to bear on the collaborative projects within the framework of the group.
GH avisualagency was cited as one "of 23 groundbreaking New York studios and individuals" in "Infiltrate: The Front Lines of the New York Design Scene"; Alexander Gelman, Nic Musolino, Helen Walters (2004); Gingko Press.ISBN 9063690444
Their cover art for Prefuse 73's album "Surrounded By Silence" was included in the book "The Greatest Album Covers of All Time"; Grant Scott, Barry Miles, Johnny Morgan (October 2005); Collins & Brown. ISBN: 1843403013
