Ephemeral Pamphlets

In particular the religious kind. You know the ones. Fanatical religious groups who produce badly made leaflets, with bad imagery, that get thrust into your hands as you leave the train station, or that get put through your letterbox. They are a form of ephemeral information distribution that almost everyone is familiar with.




I've had this particular one for a while. It was in my studio, thrust into the hands of my studio-mate sometime in the summer, and has been sitting around for a while. I haven't actually read it, I was more intrigued by the design of it. The proclamation on the front along with the terrible and somewhat scary image. The paper used and the format of the folding. It is giving me an idea....

I too have a pamphlet rather like this hanging around, for "some" reason - and recently used another to make a book-ring (with a 3/4" square punch) - centred on one of the tiny pages was a tiny book, which felt a bit spooky!
