Del//"break_in"
Del has really begun to create some spectrum in her ISM work. She's gone from girly glam to raggedy rapscallion, and we expect she'll go back again at least once or twice more. But no matter what sort of image she chooses to present, it's always done with skill and singularity.

geri//"99redballoons"
It's a provocative colour, one often used thematically by ISM Artists, but Geri's take on it is uniquely hers. Red has heat and passion. It's as inviting as it is a warning sign, and we're unsure whether to dive right in or stay at a distance from Geri's red moods.

Sophie_c//"peel_down"
If you've ever watched a lady take off a pair of jeans, you probably understand why Sophie_C's latest folio is sexy. The clink of a brass belt buckle, the muted unzip, the writhing, unpeeling action as long legs are revealed - well, you get the picture. And if you don't, here are a few more pictures to clue you in.

Cara_lee//"grittykitty"
There are lots of ways to accentuate your curves, and for those who can get a bit down-and-dirty, rolling around in the sand is a tried-and-true method that's been captured in pin-ups since before Cara_Lee was a glint in the eye.

Raiko//"seraphim"
Is she putting it on, or is this who she really is? We really can't tell. Raiko very well could be as angelic as all this, or maybe she just likes the contrast between this persona and the one she wears in the everyday. She's not giving us any hints either way...which only makes us more curious.

Hellsangel//"troublemaker"
We can't imagine being the only ones to have difficulty placing the name to the face (or is it the face to the name?). This lady does not exactly look as sinister as her moniker suggests. Which makes us fear her even more when we think of the things she could get away with, smiling so sweetly like that.

jolisa & Parsley//"latched_2"
These two lovers do a great job of representing the pleasure of one another's company. There are times in the course of any relationship where no activity would be complete without the beloved - even something as simple as making tea.

gina_cherie//"implemented"
As someone who is always pushing the definition of 'extreme', Gina_Cherie has produced some of the most explicit and provocative work you'll see on ISM. And she does it with class. There is something both garish and beautiful about this set, and that repel / attract duality is just about the most thorough headfuck we could ask for.

fia//"solsken"
A Swede in the sunshine - is there anything more stereotypically golden in the known universe? It's amazing how very much you can appreciate something when it disappears for several months each year, and Fia is taking in every single kilojoule of the stuff while she's got it washing over her.

macey//"boopoopadoop"
There are hobbies, and then there are obsessions. Macey's Boop obsession is a far cry from the tomboyishness of her youth, but that's not the only 180 she's done since then. I wonder what her classmates would say if they could see her now.

Shiraz//"bag_o_tricks"
This is Shiraz's dedication to idle time. When you can go through the junk drawer and see what's in there that'll keep you entertained. Face paint and card tricks are guaranteed to get you through at least an afternoon, but if you're as imaginative as she is, you'll be at it well into the night.

Kippey//"mise_en_scene"
Kippey has an eye for colour and shape, and is immersed in creating the perfect scene for herself - but I suppose anyone born in the gift shop of the Tate Modern would have a strong aesthetic sensibility, yeah? An ambitious debut, one that makes very intentional use of the frame, with the occasional bit of excess creeping in at the edges...

Ebola//"glamazon"
She's as menacing as she is hilarious, but give her a taco and a bottle of Passion Pop and she calms right down. Ebola has kicked so many arses she can't even be bothered taking names anymore, though she might just make an exception for the likes of you.

lady lou//"dollhouse" Video
We've been hoping for a video from Lady Lou for a long time, just to see what she's like when she's animated. She's the type to appreciate a bit of oddity, especially when it's her own, and it's a pleasure to watch her dance around in her own little sphere of strange.

PixiMcRaunch//"unwrapped"
PixiMcRaunch's latest, greatest work is one she put a whole lot of thought and planning into - from industrial-sized rolls of Saran wrap to blocking out the most symbolic shots. Be sure to check out her new Artist's Statement as well - this lady's got a lot to say.
