Lainey Molnar is a freelance illustrator from Hungary on a mission to empower womxn and normalising their choices, whatever they might be. Through her honest avatar-like comics, she focuses on womxn’s role in society and the way it perceives them; she addresses the way womxn have to navigate all the expectations imposed by society as well as reach the milestones society has set out for them — eg. maintaining the perfect size and shape, being maternal but also ambitious, strong but also sensitive, or staying youthful while gracefully accepting the aging process.

Laetitia Ky is an Ivorian artist and model who has gained popularity on Instagram and TikTok thanks to the crafty way in which she braids and models her hair to create beautifully intricate sculptures.

6. Wagina Pineapple

See the original post from Wagina Pineapple here

Wagina Pineapple is an illustrated meme page by Danish feminist cartoonist Sofie Riise Nors. Sofie purposely works with poorly drawn lines as a rebellious commentary to society’s expectations of perfection towards women as professionals and human beings. Her bold artworks support the artist’s belief that womanhood can be multidimensional: rough and brutal and, at the same time, graceful and kind. Combining humour with an anarchist drawing style, she’s serving patriarchy a pungent criticism sandwich.

Sofie will host a Night Talk at Design Matters 21, which will take place in Copenhagen and online on September 29–30, 2021. Get your ticket now!

8. Filthy Rat Bag

See the original post from Filthy Rat Bag here

Filthy Rat Bag, aka Celeste Mountjoy, is an Australian artist and illustrator whose work consists of poetic observations about sexism, body image, anxiety, societal expectations and insecurities. Disquieting, yet familiar and funny, her art takes a satirical approach in commenting on the behavior of modern society. The artist, purposely abandoning a more traditional way of representing women as beautiful or perfect, morphs her female illustrations into something that is not hot or pretty; the result is drawings of women with body hair and saggy boobs, as well as human-animal hybrids.
