My friends and I often joke about finding Mr. One and Only via the craigslist missed connections section. Most of the posts are pretty ricidlous- I mean, who really remembers the guy in the red car they saw at the corner of x and y street on their morning commute? But hey, who knows- maybe the cute guy I made eye contact with at the sandwich shop was soo smitten that he couldn't forget that moment and he had to take his search to craigslist. Yeah- super unlikely to happen but it's fun to talk about.
That is exactly why seeing these illustrations on a Kottke.org
post by artist Sophie Blackhall (here is her
website) made me smile. Blackhall takes an actual missed connection and turns them into works of art. I really want to give one as a gift...or maybe to keep for myself. This is such a clever idea and you can purchase them on her etsy site.
This is my favorite, I think.
