To celebrate Missed Connections at the recent BookExpo America in New York, Workman printed posters of Polka Dots in the Strand and we have five (signed) to give away! Leave a comment below to enter. Winners will be drawn democratically, using the fool proof chapeau method, and announced next Thursday.
I'd love a chance to win, even though I'm Europe-based ... I've been following your blog/work for quite some time now and it's been wonderful seeing those little snippets of other people's days come to life through your creativity.
Oh my, winning a poster of your work would be amazing :) I love the way you capture unique moments, and your drawings are absolutely beautiful. Thanks for giving us the chance ;)
I'm a big fan of your work. I'm fascinated by Missed Connections, as well - I've done a research project on Toronto Missed Connections in my PhD program. I also have a Missed Connections-related blog, lustandfound.wordpress.com! I'd love to win this print. :)
When I saw this missed connection, it immediately became my favourite, maybe it's my love of books, polka dots, the Strand, and believing in "Love at first site".
Your illustrations bring so much more emotion to what was actually written in the ads. I love your work, and would love a poster for my new apartment :D
This is a great giveaway, I love the poster! We have the bear suit print (gift from my husband!) but I would love to add this one to the collection, above our overflowing book shelf of course.
This poster depicts my ideal first encounter with my future boyfriend. would love to have it in the case that the actual boy/bf does not materialize :P
OH ...i loved this one...where he said.."I swear I glimpsed our entire future together in that brief moment. It was beautiful"...makes your heart skip a beat. Fingers crossed!
I realize that the winner will be drawn democratically, but I want you to know that my husband and I discovered this picture this weekend (we've been fans of your work for a while though) and immediately connected with it. Although, I know it is based on a missed connection, this picture absolutely represents our connection. We are both librarians (met in a bookstore) who just recently purchased our own home and found out that we are expecting our first child. Though this picture probably has another meaning to you, to us it reminds us of our journey together. So thank you for this! And sorry for the crazy long post. :-)
Your work is so whimsical and charming, and I would be thrilled to have a piece to hang in my house. My walls are nearly unadorned, so your work would have a place of honor.
Messages in bottles, smoke signals, letters written in the sand; the modern equivalents are the funny, sad, beautiful, hopeful, hopeless, poetic posts on Missed Connections websites. Every day hundreds of strangers reach out to other strangers on the strength of a glance, a smile or a blue hat. Their messages have the lifespan of a butterfly. I'm trying to pin a few of them down.
i'd love to win a poster! i love your work.
