Anna Haifisch READY AMERICA
With her unmistakable wit, Anna Haifisch highlights the idiosyncrasies of a country in which catastrophes seem just as ordinary as the sight of a coyote in the Hollywood Hills
Dogs in colorful sweatshirts, the glowing signs of a Vietnamese fast-food restaurant, solitary palm trees above the pavement: Ready America takes us on a ride through a both strangely familiar and quite alien Los Angeles.
Packaging inscriptions, neon signs, and billboards fuse into an appealing typographic montage while familiar American icons peek out between stores and offices, clinics, and morgues.

"More of an artbook than a comic — though you can pull through a narrative of reflecting on the visual impact of American Consumerism. Not in a judgmental way, but more like admiring the aesthetic. Haifisch takes what she sees and processes it for her own artistic world" - Inkstuds
"Haifisch's work is very funny [with] a charming, scratchy line and a faintly unsettling color palette." - The Quietus
