I don’t know why I can’t give myself that freedom.” Oleksyk looks sidelong out the window and then pushes the hair from her face. “That’s what 24-hour comics really taught me. I didn’t care if anybody read it. When I was drawing that I started out with a concept, but I didn’t have any idea how it would look. I was ad-libbing and taking chances. I was drawing for nine hours and it felt like 20 minutes. I was having so much fun. By page 18, I started caring how it would look and getting tired, and I didn’t want to screw it up so I stopped … I’m very critical, mostly of my own work. It’s always in the back of my own head.” (via Interview: Sarah Oleksyk « The Daily Cross Hatch)
