In order to get more valuable insights about this unique series, we reached out to Lainey Molnar and asked her some more questions regarding her recent work. We wanted to know what the artist considers the most rewarding aspects of being an illustrator. Lainey shared with us: “I’m very grateful for being able to be creative as a profession, as someone who doodled her way through school, this is such a dream. I never believed anyone who said ‘You need a diploma and a secure job, you can be creative in your free time’ and I think my delusion that I can be and do whatever I want and be successful at it definitely contributed to me doing this right now. But the best part is always reading and hearing the reactions to my illustrations, all the personal stories, and the conversations they start. As soon as the comics leave my hands, their purpose is to ignite these conversations and provoke thoughts.”
