Sophie Blackall grew up in Australia where she learned to draw on the beach with sticks, which has not altogether helped her sense of perspective.

The following few years were spent painting robotic characters for theme parks, providing the hands for a DIY television show, and writing a household hints column.

Quotes by Sophie Blackall

“I have a confession to make. I don’t really want to know. I like a happy ending as well as the next person, but I love the mystery and the uncertainty and the electric current of possibility. There’s a reason the best love stories end at the first kiss. Jane Austen had this down; it’s all about the chase. We’re not really interested in Elizabeth and Darcy after the wedding bells fade, or in Cinderella and her prince after the slipper is returned.”
― Sophie Blackall, Missed Connections: Love, Lost & Found
