Greenpoint Laundromat

I am a nice, quiet guy, and I am about to have a missed connection with someone at my local laundromat when I go in a half hour to do my laundry. I'll probably be sitting in a corner reading, because I don't like to leave my laundry alone. Maybe you're there doing your laundry too?

  7. Oh I hope that person was there and he was able to smile and say a little hello to them. I wouldn't leave my laundry alone either.

  12. Sophie- I just came across your blog today and am so happy that I found it!!! The missed connections have always made me sad because I think of all those people who make the posts on Craigslist and how small the chances are that their missed connection will actually read them and connect. With you illustrating so many, it gives me hope that 1)maybe a connection will more likely be made and 2)many of those posts may not form a connection, but will inspire the thousands of people who see your artwork!

    I would like to see your next series be of people who ACTUALLY MADE a connection;)

    Lovely work!
