Ready America

"Ready America takes us on a ride through a both strangely familiar and quite alien Los Angeles. Dogs in colorful sweatshirts, the glowing signs of a Vietnamese restaurant, solitary palm trees above the pavement. 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. 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. Full-color illustrations throughout"--

Anna Haifisch was born in Germany in 1986 and studied illustration at the College of Graphics and Book Art. She is a co-founder of the German comics festival, The Millionaires Club.
