We Shared a Bear Suit
Missed Connections, Love, Lost and Found, began as a personal illustration project in the form of a blog. Every day for the past three years I have gleaned the Missed Connections section of Craigslist for the funny, strange, tender, sad and hopeful messages posted by lovelorn strangers, and turned them into drawings. Fifty or so have been gathered in a book, published by Workman in 2011.
The real fellow in “We Shared a Bear Suit” wrote to me after his friend stumbled on the blog and recognized him. He never found his bear-girl, but has since met someone equally delightful.
