Sophie Blackall is a Brooklyn based Australian artist. She has illustrated over twenty books for children, including Ruby's Wish (Chronicle Books, 2003) which won the Ezra Jack Keats Award, Meet Wild Boars (Henry Holt, 2005) which won a BCCB Blue Ribbon Picture Book Award and the Founders Award from the Society of Illustrators, Big Red Lollipop (Viking, 2010) which was a New York Times Top Ten Picture Book for 2010, and the ongoing Ivy and Bean series (Chronicle Books), which has over a million copies in print.
Blackall has collaborated with many notable authors, including Aldous Huxley, Judith Viorst, Jane Yolen and Meg Rosoff.
Her editorial illustrations have appeared in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, Time, Gourmet, Food & Wine, Town & Country and many others.
Her latest project, http://www.missedconnectionsny.blogspot.com Missed Connections, which began as a blog in early 2009, is an ongoing series of paintings based on real, anonymous messages posted online by lovelorn strangers.
Like a message in a bottle, a "missed connection" classified (usually posted on a website) is an attempt however far-fetched, by one stranger to reach another on the strength of a remembered glance, smile, or blue hat. The anonymous messages are hopeful and hopeless, funny and sad. Ms. Blackall, award-winning illustrator of "Ruby's Wish" and "Big Red Lollipop", has turned some of the most evocative (or hilarious) of them into exquisite paintings. "Missed Connections" is a collection of illustrated love stories. There's "We Shared a Bear Suit." "If Not for Your Noisy Tambourine." "Hairy Bearded Swimmer." Each is told in the shorthand of a "missed connection," and then illustrated in Chinese ink and watercolour. The paintings are extraordinary: delicate yet full of feeling, each springing from one little detail of the post into a fully imagined world. Each brings the voyeuristic pleasure of watching love at first sight, and the pleasure of watching an artist discover a fresh new way to tell a story. And not all the connections are missed. Hidden in the book are three pieces that conjure up the magic of love found.
刚入手这本书,只是看了作者的前言,便勾起了我心底藏了两年的情结。封底上有一句“给你心底的陌生人写情书吧”,于是我在今日凌晨三点写下了这样的LOVE LETTER。 -------------------------------------------- 亲爱的 对不起。 请允许我冒昧的也是自私的最后一次这么叫你。...
评分本来还以为这本书是在讲述一个如何美好的爱情故事。翻开一看才知道不是。作者收集众多关于偶尔遇到的陌生人的故事,旨在通过这本书,找到曾经遇到的心动过的陌生人。虽然这些故事都是在国外发生的,但是发现,很多擦肩而过的故事对于自己来说也是很熟悉的。也许,自己就在某一...
评分刚刚去BBS的Pie版逛了一圈,有一个定向寻人的帖子,当我看到标题是寻找我住的那楼的女孩时,小心脏不可控制的激动起来。读到“粉红色上衣,牛仔短裤”时,前一句令我惊喜万分,后一句却失落千丈。我也是粉红色上衣,却是牛仔长裤…… 自从看过这本书后就开始留意BBS上的定向贴...
评分 评分套用一句过时的话:思想上的女流氓,行为上的好姑娘。 很多人现在都喜欢讲“Feeling”,所谓感觉,就是对那些回头率200000%的帅哥,可以视若粪土;却会因擦肩而过的一瞥,心猿意马一下午。会在蜻蜓点水般擦肩而过之后的0.1秒叹气,因为没有多做一点点多说一点点,可能就错过了...
人群中千万次擦肩 始终不能忘的 竟然是陌生人 温暖的书当然要生病时候读
评分it's good, for the softest spot in heart.
评分与陌生人的赏心悦目的偶遇是多么的浪漫又陶醉~
评分中文版书名翻译得不错;然而本着有原版决不看译本的原则,还是收了一本。实话是有些失望,其实就卖个概念,某些小片段有些动人,有些更像是腼腆的约炮。插图不是我特别喜欢的风格。
评分One day one story... Comfort me...
