In our new favorite blog (Missed Connections), and our for-a-while-favorite Etsy vendor (Sophie Blackall), we get illustrations of the daily Craigslist postings in search of a denoument (or primax?) to that subway or "Subway" flirtation. And we just adore these images.
Blackall's subject matter - literally, the illustration of Craigslist connections - remind us a lot of Jason Pollan's voeyeuristic, but personal and oh-so-sweet, "Every Person in NY" campaign: New Yorkers, being themselves.
She also does non-Craigslist, often-food-related work, including mushroom girls and boys, turning those umami vegetal fans into Victorian-era-worthy neckwear.
