Hi, my name is Isa and I am an aspiring artist book author, book binder, and general artist. I am 20, studying studio art at Oberlin College. This blog will be not just collected posts, thoughts, and art, but will actually feature a number of posts that focus on my OCD. I needed a separate audience, away from the glitch in my head. If you don't want to see it, sorry-- deal and scroll fast. If you do, check out the OCD tag. Peace and thanks, Isa

Artist book prototype, for roots 2023

My dad said huh interesting and then praised my sister's artwork and then told me to start doing something (applied to over 100 jobs collectively with my partner..) so any love here would be appreciated.

Kinda feeling low.

Reworking old journal entries w homemade (shitty, modded w agar) oak gall and acorn cap ink

Experimental Linocut Print with Oak Gall and Acorn Cap homemade ink. ridley creek rock, 2022. Info below

Still figuring out how to work with my foraged inks and pigments-- a little bummed bc I added way too much agar to the base and it thickened up grainy (I promise I mixed it and Then Heated and Then Cooled!). To make it useable with a brayer I added several tbsp of gum arabic to help disperse the pigments more evenly across the brayer. still a very wet process, but as I played around I found that the grain and variability is more exciting to me than getting a clear print or an even layer on the brayer. Edition of 7.

The funny thing is I used to be an alcoholic in like middle and high school and then I stopped bc I realized I was going to be like my mom and found weed but now I can't smoke at all and I'm not around an alcoholic so I'm not as conscious of it and now I'm the alcoholic which right now is fine by me bc I'm Not Doing Well
