I've long admired Aussie artist Sophie Blackall's art on Etsy, but her latest project really exemplifies celebrating the unexpected and lovely. Titled "Missed Connections" it's now travelling the NY subways on posters and in a beautiful book. Thanks to 'Art by Wiley' for sharing this project with me, I'm reveling the fun of Sophie's art.
