Bored Panda reached out to Lainey again to get to know more about her creative process. We asked her where she gets inspiration and motivation for her work. The artist replied that besides getting inspired by her own experience as a woman, she also follows a variety of content creators from psychologists, spiritual pages, body-positive influencers, mom influencers, and other inspiring people to "understand more about matters thousands or even millions of women go through."
Since the majority of Lainey's illustrations are about women, we got curious whether she receives some feedback from men that are following her on social media. The artist replied that only 5% of her audience is men and she has experienced two kinds of interactions with them on different ends of a spectrum. "Some men are really warm and kind and express their support and understanding, ask about what they can do better, or tell me that they are having conversations about the topics I bring up with their families or friends. On the other hand, unfortunately, the majority of comments and messages from men are deeply misogynistic or they are trying to force aggressive arguments. Nothing I engage in, we are clearly not on the same page."
Lainey revealed that she receives countless requests from teachers from all over the world to get permission to print out her illustrations for their classrooms, which shows that this medium seems to express a message very well.
The artist shared that if all goes well, she's going to start writing her book very soon! "Besides being an illustrator and content creator I’m also an author (my first book came out in my native Hungarian in 2014) and it’s time to share my story along with drawings and the wisdom I picked up about womanhood over the years!"
