Missed Connections

Sophie Blackall is a children's book illustrator in Brooklyn. She's fascinated with the Missed Connections section on Craigslist. Missed Connections are a kind of classifieds for lovelorn strangers who had a chance encounter and hope to reunite.

Blackall says the online messages have the lifespan of a butterfly. They're usually deleted within a week. So she's turning the postings into vintage-style, watercolor paintings.
