About

I'm a collector (a hoarder, let's be honest) of all things printed. Magazines and books, illustrations and postcards, flyers and brochures, tickets to the museums, the movies, and the bus. If it's paper, I am inclined to keep it.

But even the greatest libraries, which mine isn't, need to be weeded out on a regular basis.

So this is how ennui.ephemera was born. Here, I will share scans of various pages from my collection. I will also share curious things I find on the internet.

The ''ennui'' in the title comes from my penchant for all things melancholy, gothic, and a little dark. That's not to say there won't be a fair share of glossy editorials. Really, I just wanted an alliteration.
