New Releases

Berries ‘n cream, cakes ‘n cream, Tita ‘n cream – it’s like the dessert menu in an American diner. Tita, of course, is a special – you can’t always get her, but when you can, there’s a line out the door. Clean your plate, or there’ll be no seconds. Y’hear?

A lady with a vinyl collection has become a rarity, making such ladies all the more precious, both for the sustainability of the format and for our senses of nostalgia. We can just imagine Cooper sitting down to a vegan feast with her besties, ‘Forever in Blue Jeans’ crackling out from the stereo, and we’re wishing we could be at the table too.

Pink and grey are the best colour combination, one that we’ve seen on Cassie more than once, so naturally this particular folio was coming. It’s a cheeky use of thematic colour, but she’s always willing to take her ‘cheek’ one step further.

Marie B is engaged in a little project of peeking out from inside her shy-shaped shell, but to be frank, we would never have known had she not said it. This is simply bold and beautiful work from a lady with eyes as dense and enveloping as the fog moving over the bay. Wrap yourself up in flannellette sheets and click, click, click.

Finally, an answer to the question we’ve all been asking ourselves (and anyone else who will listen) for so long: do they make lacy ankle socks for big girls? And is it sad that for Kinsey, they’re for dress-ups, and for us, they’re for everything? Now, if we can just get her to reveal their source…

The best thing to wear when you’ve got a sunburn is nothing, so Sami chose an opportune time to shoot herself. It’s difficult to say why tan lines are so very sexy – perhaps it’s that much more emphasis on the ‘forbidden’ that makes them so captivating – but if you hadn’t yet discovered how very sexy they are, prepare to be converted.

Corn changed the course of Mesoamerican history, but we consider this to be the most extreme thing it has done since then. Proof that, no matter how much money Monsanto spends trying to own them, seeds belongs to the people, and they will use it to enrich their lives however they see fit.

You’ll have nothing but good dreams if you filter them all through this lady. She’s so pure of spirit that we can’t imagine any negativity getting through. Wherever she is now, sleeping under the stars, perhaps, in a van full of kittens, we trust she’s sleeping well.

This is Cocobean’s version of ‘easy living’, which comes easier to some than it does to others. She would most likely fall under the category of ‘some’, considering the sweet and placid expression she maintains throughout. And anyone who owns a hammock has R&R built into her existence.

The ephemeral marvel of chemistry and physics that is bubbles is one of those things that makes you happy without you ever having to ask why. What do we find so pleasing about something so simple? It never stops being satisfying, and we've all spent an afternoon on the back porch with a bottleful of its charm. Cobain pays homage to it in true ISM form, and while we still can't break down its effects on us, we feel like we've just gone through a whole bottle ourselves.

Chazie bathes in that kind of light that makes everything visible – as it streams in through the window, you can see the air through it, fragments of dust floating about, the history of the universe in its dependence upon that very same light. Pretty cool way to burst onto the ISM stage, miss.

Welcome to Frank’s tank. She and the bull welcome you to join them for a bit of stargazing, desertcombing, and contemplating life and death. They’ve picked up their share of roamers in their time together, and not a one can say they ain't better for it.

‘O our mother the earth, O our father the sky, Your children are we, and with tired backs, We bring you gifts that you love.’ And so goes the Tewa prayer that we recommend you all familiarise yourselves with, since you’ve been blessed with the perfect photographic accompaniment to its verses.

There are some perfect shots for the ‘don’t ban the can’ campaign in amongst this expression of Marnic angst. Taking the ‘naked tagger’ angle might be the best way to reach the more conservative anti-graff folks out there – naked ladies have the tendency to change minds.

Even in the wild outdoors (aka her backyard), Spacewitch manages to look nothing short of polished and perfect. Ah, the sleek lines of the modern hipstress – never failing to look suitably urbane, no matter where she sits in relation to the metropolis.
