I read a lot of blogs. Mostly crafty people and home decor blogs. Many of them, recently, have posted about Sophie Blackall and her Missed Connections illustrations. Curious as I am, I checked out her illustrations. I love the softness- yet richness- of the colours she used. I also liked how she illustrated the handwritten message. I didn’t really get it though. I couldn’t figure out what m4w stood for and why many of the handwritten quotes were from the perspectives of men.
I realized after a while that she illustrates her favourite “missed connections” on craigslist. I didn’t know these existed. I did a Toronto search for missed connections. They make me laugh out loud. Sophie B illustrates the NYC ones – I am not surprised. New York just seems so much hipper than other places…. (this is based on my once ever visit and SATC, of course).
Go!
