brooklyn based sophie blackall visually brings to life the messages from the online missed connection posts on craigslist. she posts her whimsical illustrations on her blog, and now has them published in a new book missed connections: love, lost & found. i had honestly forgotten about that section of craigslist, but had always wondered if anyone ever did connect from those posts.
"Messages in bottles, smoke signals, letters written in the sand; the modern equivalents are the funny, sad, beautiful, hopeful, hopeless, poetic posts on Missed Connections websites. Every day hundreds of strangers reach out to other strangers on the strength of a glance, a smile or a blue hat. Their messages have the lifespan of a butterfly. I'm trying to pin a few of them down." - Sophie Blackall
