Missed Connections

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.

I came across Sophie Blackall's blog some time ago. I love her illustrations and the stories behind them. Some crack me up, some are ridiculous, and some are sweet.

Now prints of some of her illustrations are available in her Etsy Shop.
