Sophie Blackall, the founder and illustrator of the blog Missed Connections has taken inspiration from a place that I would never have thought of. Perusing the ‘Missed Connections’ portion of the mighty Craigslists, she illustrates some of the sweet messages of yearning and stranger love. Her artwork is incredible! Here’s what she has to say about her blog:

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.

Head over to Missed Connections and check out the archives. Guaranteed to make you say aww!

Good Mooooooooorning SuperForest!

I need to get out of NYC. This little birdy needs some sunnier sun on his feathers this Winter.

I’m putting my apartment up for sub-let on Craigslist, but I thought I’d give y’all first crack. Yes, you can live in SuperForest HQ NYC!

Here’s the details: 2,900/month gets you a beautiful, sunny, one-bedroom in Chelsea. Fully furnished (or not, if you prefer.) King-sized bed. Large living room. Doorman building, with 3 elevators. Hardwood floors throughout. Heat and AC. Southern exposure so it gets great sunlight all day and stays warm in the Winter. Ready for you the second week of November. My lease ends in Feb, so if you like it, you can stay and take on the lease. No broker’s fee. Pet-friendly. Laundromat in the basement. Parking is available. Very close to Union Square, ACE/123 subway lines, LIRR & NJ Transit. Perfect for a couple or single. Lots of plants.
