Sophie Blackall is the amazing illustrator behind the “Missed Connections” blog and book. She is wildly talented and now every New York City subway rider can enjoy her awesome work. She created ads for the MTA based off of her Missed Connections blog. I love the random assortment of people; each person could have their own story written about them. As an illustrator myself, I admire her attention to detail. Little things like the dog popping out of the guys sweater or the Whale on the hipster guy’s book…. each little detail helps build the character. As an avid subway rider, I’ve had my fair share of weird rides but having these ads to look at helps make it a little sweeter.
