“I did have a couple of people asking me to illustrate their MC in a hope to widen the exposure, unfortunately the messages weren't a good fit, so I couldn't oblige.

“Someone wrote to me asking me to illustrate a missed connection that "hasn't happened yet." This guy has seen the same girl waiting at a bus stop on his morning commute for weeks, and has been trying to find a way to approach her. He thought it would be fun to put up a Missed Connections poster [of my painting] on the corner where she waits and see what happens.

It's a fine line between being creative and stalking!” WayTryingKindHas BeensIdeasHappensWould BeGuyGirlFunBitsWaitingLinesMorningCreativeHappenedWeekPaintingFineApproachConnectionsAskingCornersBusBe CreativeThis GuyIntriguingPostersStalkingFine LinesManipulativeBus StopsMissed Connections Author:Sophie Blackall
