Sophie Blackall's Missed Connections
Sophie Blackall has an amazing series of illustrations in her Missed Connections project. She takes "missed connections" classified ads and visually represents them through her enchanting illustrations. From her blog: "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." She also offers prints of her illustrations in her Etsy shop. Read this article | Comment on this article blog.craftzine.com |
