SKIRMISHER

Inspired and deeply fascinated with the “Missed Connections” section on Craigslist, Sophie Blackall creates these heartwarming illustrations that capture a certain poignancy in the human experience.

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.
