These darling, hilarious, oh-so-touching prints are by Brooklyn-Australian artist Sophie Blackall. Sophie illustrates the famous “missed connections” postings on Craigslist for her blog and now sells prints on Etsy. I think they’re endearing in all their quirkiness. It’s like found poetry, no?

How darling! I love the bear suit print. Poetry indeed.
Lauren — Loved the bear too! John and I were just looking at them together and that one made us both burst out laughing. XO
These are just so much fun. I always loved reading the Missed Connections section but I love seeing these reimaginations even more.
The bear one is priceless. They would look lovely framed and hung upon the wall.
I heard about these! They’re so sweet, I love it.
Love it. This section is always so entertaining to read and I am excited about the illustrations to go with. So very clever.
Glad you all find these as enchanting as I do! I always wonder if they work, the missed connections, I mean. Do you think people find each other??
yes!
i have always LOVED these!!
how lucky would one of these missed connections couples be if not only did they end up together, but find their love story illustrated!?!
(sigh)
love love love….
I have often wondered that as well! Surely the NY Times would do a story on them if they did find each other…or how about a movie screenplay?! Her illustrations are the best. The “fun dip” in the pocket one …this amuses me so much.
Adorable! Thanks for sharing.
I’ve seen these pictures before and think they are so sweet. Whenever I read the missed connections in my area they are not anything like these!
Zhush — I would love to see a film based on one of these! Brilliant idea, I think you should write it! XO
I LOVEEEEE this!
Love these. Would love to have one commissioned for my husband and I. Though luckily our connection wasn’t missed!
