Country Classics, Vol. 2

This vividly risographed zine includes illustrations pulled from country music trading cards and matched with out-of-context pieces of old country music magazines to form a new answer to the question, “What is country?”

Beyond the shiny veneer of Dolly Parton–themed Netflix specials and drunk bachelorettes, the real idea of country is just an amalgamation of aesthetics, taken from mythologized histories and meant to define what it means to be an American. 

5.5 x 8.5" risograph zine, printed by Risology Club
