The Ephemerist

The Ephemerist

http://www.sparehed.com

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my X decades on earth, it’s that you can’t change the laws of physics, the ways of big business or the dealings of politics. There’s just no way.

So, I try to content myself with finding nice things to look at in the fringe, the ephemere, the unimportant. Comics mostly, but also illustration, advertising, tagging, whatever.

The Ephemerist started as a Yahoo group in 2002, focusing on comics art. I try to keep this site a bit more general, and a bit more personal.
