Missed Connections With Sophie Blackall

Illustrator Sophie Blackall is brilliant. She scours the Missed Connections section of her local NYC paper, or maybe craigslist, and creates whimsical illustrations to accompany them. Adorable to the nth degree.

Remember? Uptown A train. Sunday at around 9pm. I was the black dude reading Bukowski's Post Office. You were reading the Arts and Leisure section. You passed wind rather loudly and started chuckling. I'd like to see you again. The flatulence wasn't a turn-off.

She recently released a book of Missed Connections that is now appearing on my literary "Wish List" and has begun a new project that looks equally as entrancing, Drawn From My Father's Adventures.
