As we all know and agree, Ephemera is defined as transitory written and printed matter not intended to be retained or preserved. This is generally thought to include mostly paper items such as trade cards, airsickness bags, bookmarks, catalogues, greeting cards, letters, pamphlets, postcards, posters, prospectuses, stock certificates, tickets and the like.
I recently ran across this unstge.com which in its “About Us” page tells us that:

Styrofoam art
One of their most recent posts talked about a Californian, by way of Malaysia, who draws things on cups. Yep, Styrofoam coffee cups. I have to wonder if this too fits into the category.. or will some day in the future… of Ephemera. After all it is transitory, written, and probably not intended to be preserved very long.
Take a look at the drawing in this blog.. and then head on over to Unstage and see a whole lot more of his work. He is obviously very very talented.
