Brooklyn Australian artist, Sophie Blackall, who we most famously know from childrens' book illustrations from books such as Ivy & Bean, has made a blog based on missed connections of New York City. As Sophie says, "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."
They are quite fun to look at: missed connections
