The Project ISM Artist prize

Artist: FLIE
Folio: SEXTING
Women like Flie are the future of technology - effortlessly interfacing beating hearts and fevered flesh with the cool plastic curves of the devices at their disposal. Flie’s innovation in the field of sex and tech deserves a reward - and so June’s Art Prize is all hers. Congratulations Flie!

Artist: MARLA_DEE
Folio: UNCURL
Hip, hip, hooray for Marla_Dee, winning May’s Art Prize and all the fame and accolades that come along with it! We won’t be mad if you spend all the prize money on ferns, Marla_Dee, especially if they uncurl into more inspiration for your beautiful work. Congratulations!

Artist: NAISKA
Folio: CONNECTION
April showers bring May flowers, but no one ever told us April's Art Prize would bring us something this beautiful. Congratulations to Naiska for taking our collective breath away with her achromatic self study, reminding us that inspiration lies in even the smallest details.

Artist: PASCHA
Folio: PIROUETTE
Wow, it’s that time again, and none too soon - Pascha was about to steal our hearts, so we gave her the March 2012 Art Prize instead. We recommend that you get yourself a luxuriant foot massage with the prize money, Pascha - to rub the kinks out of those overworked arches.

Artist: ALLIE_O
Folio: MINDBEND
How many Allie_O's does it take to win an art prize? The answer is just one, but her infinite reflections, each one as beautiful as the last, sure didn't hurt her chances. Congratulations for innovative technique and ISM excellence to Allie_O, winner of our February Art Prize!

Artist: LILLIT
Folio: FILM_STILL
January's art prize kicks off the New Year, and we're proud of Lillit for doing so in such graceful style. Each and every image from her set reminds us of a beautiful old film, with Lillit as director, designer, and star - a well-deserved art prize, on many levels.

Folio: NERDACITY
Congratulations to the impossibly gorgeous December Art Prize winner Leigha, who stole our hearts with her perfect kissy-face. Such flawless self-ploitation deserves the $250 prize to ring in the new year, and you better believe we've got our fingers crossed to see Leigha again - and again and again.
