Sophie Blackall on her Art Card, Missed Connections, released in early 2012:
“Within the characters in the line-up there’s all sorts of stuff going on. So for all those people like me who forget to take something to read on the subway, they will have something to stare at and think about. And hopefully, after they’ve stared at the poster they will look down and think about the people opposite them. And if that’s a by-product, that we think warmly of our fellow travelers, that would be nice.”
We love this video showing Sophie’s inspiration and creative process. Close ups of each of her subway characters can be seen on her blog. This Art Card and other posters are available at the Transit Museum Store.

Art of the Toilet Paper Roll by JUNIOR FRITZ JACQUET
French artist Junior Fritz Jacquet has been fascinated by paper since a very young age. Among various other paper and cardboard creations, he transforms plain toilet paper rolls into remarkable miniature masks. His technique is inspired by origami, in that it uses a single piece and folds it into a shape, but has a unique smoothness that deviates from the sharpness and jagged edges of origami, creating shapes that are astonishingly human. The masks are sculpted by hand, then coated with shellac and different pigments. A testament to the power of taking something incredibly simple and transforming it into something impressively expressive, each piece exudes a complexity of human emotion conveyed in just a few brilliantly orchestrated folds.
