Her creative practice, which is evident in these comics, has blossomed on the internet.
In her continuous series of comics, Lainey Molnar continues to capture what it’s like to be a modern woman. Her creative practice has flourished on the internet, with countless individuals from all over the world following her extremely popular Instagram account, which was initially sparked by the coronavirus lockdowns back in 2020.
The progress of her digital comics can be credited to their genuineness, understanding, and fundamental messages of strength for all women. Molnar was 31 years old when she began drawing illustrations.
She was a single woman confronting many of the expectations placed on women, including getting married and becoming a mother. Currently, Molnar is 33 years old, still single, and not considering having any children.
"I don’t have a degree, I can’t drive a car, I’ve been self-employed, jumping around gigs my entire life, I have 57 tattoos, I live out of suitcases, and I spontaneously buy one-way plane tickets on a regular basis. I refuse to feel like these life decisions are any worse than anyone else’s," Molnar says.
These personal comics started as a way for Molnar to explore her own life, and she has expanded the characters and subjects to showcase a broader dialogue about various encounters with women. Below, you’ll get to see some of Molnar’s comics, so keep scrolling and feast your eyes.
