The Ephemerist
http://www.sparehed.com
If theres one thing Ive learned in my X decades on earth, its that you cant change the laws of physics, the ways of big business or the dealings of politics. Theres 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.
