The Project ISM Artist prize
TROUBLEGRRRL Date: 01/12/2013
Artist: TROUBLEGRRRL
Folio: FAT_GRRRL
As we get down on our knees and offer up November's Art Prize to Troublegrrrl, we're in fine company - with no less than 6 Feminist Porn Awards, 7 AVN awards and countless others, we won't be the first (or the last) to recognize Troublegrrrl's brilliance. She got a heap of experience under that sexy belt, which is probably crumpled among the rest of her clothes, in a pile over yonder. It's our pleasure to add accomplished self-shooter to her impressive resume.
AUTUMN_W Date: 01/11/2013
Artist: AUTUMN_W
Folio: ANTLERED_DOE
With her attention to the finest details of her physical being, the way her skin brushes against, pushes out, slides on, and clutches to all the smooth textures of life which she gathers around her, Autumn W has captured our imagination, and brought a breath of magic into HQ from all the way over the sea. Thank you Finland, for giving us Autumn W and the landscapes which inspire her, and congratulations, Autumn W, for winning October's Art Prize.
CREATURA Date: 01/10/2013
Artist: CREATURA
Folio: GRASSLANDS
A Creatura unlike the rest. It was nearly unanimous at HQ - we were all over-the-moon this month for Creatura's stunning debut "Grasslands", a tribute to all things green and glowing in the golden hour. Creatura opened up her lens and sucked in the sunlight, and the result was a folio as warm and beautiful as Creatura herself.
ANNIE_BLOOM Date: 01/09/2013
Artist: ANNIE_BLOOM
Folio: MEMORIA_A_BOR
This month the art prize goes to Hungary, and 23-year old artist and student Annie_Bloom. Her moody folio uses "found light" perfectly and plays with focus and perspective to give us an all too brief look into the mind of this intriguing and beautiful woman.

ORIANE Date: 01/08/2013
Artist: ORIANE
Folio: VISIONQUEST
We've heard reports of chicks returning from their ISM shoots with all kinds of new insights, so it's nice to see someone picking up her camera with that firm intention in mind. Using her own reflected presence to take her soulful quest through body and subject, Oriane pushes the limits of experiential portraiture, baring all as she searches for self. We are proud to award July's Art Prize to Oriane - congratulations!
AKIRA Date: 01/07/2013
Artist: AKIRA
Folio: ZENANA
When shoots come in and HQ nearly burns down in a feverish explosion of love, it's a pretty good sign for any art prize contender. And so it was for Akira, who, through particularly fierce competition this month, emerges the victor for June's Art Prize! Akira's joyful, naked freedom against the blue sky, and those perfectly framed shots in her red-curtained harem space sealed the deal - but like we said, we were obsessed from day one. Congratulations, Akira.
NAGORE Date: 01/06/2013
Artist: NAGORE
Folio: ENTRE_AGUJAS
Between needles, a point of infinite precision. Nagore wields her camera as skillfully as her sewing kit - although this tool weaves images that reveal her body, rather than clothe it. For exquisite balance, great color, and compositions that make us sweat, we're awarding May's Art Prize to Nagore, for her primary folio, "Entre Agujas". Thanks for piercing our boundaries, Nagore - that's just how we like it.
AMBER_N Date: 01/05/2013
Artist: AMBER_N
Folio: THE_NEW_EROTIC
Congrats to Amber_N for winning April's Art Prize! Sharp focus, fine lines, big attitudes and beautiful bursts of color demonstrate that when it comes to Amber_N's vision for the new world of erotic media, we're 100% on board. Here's hoping this Art Prize is the just the start of Amber N's new erotic empire.

NUR Date: 01/04/2013 NUR ||
Folio: BON_MATIN
ISM is very pleased to present March's $500 Art Prize to Nur, for her elegant folio, "Bon Matin". The bright light and firm lines of her folio are gracefully mitigated by the softness of Nur's body in frame, her skill and intention turning that stark potential into something sweet and fragile. Good morning, Nur - we hope that this is the dawn of a beautiful friendship. Congratulations!
KAYT Date: 01/03/2013
Artist: KAYT
Folio: PHILOCALIST
Congratulations to Kayt for winning February's Art Prize! In a world where women are objectified until they mature, and then shunt aside just when they're ready to bear up under them pryin' eyes, Kayt's work is essential. To remind us that our beauty, and our confidence, don't belong to anyone but ourselves - neither objectification or rejection can take them away from us. For that and for damn fine artistic portraits, rich with depth, color, and intensity, we commend you, Kayt.
MEW Date: 01/02/2013
Artist: MEW
Folio: WET_LINEN
2013 is off to a dark and sultry start, as Mew takes January's Art Prize. An experienced erotic photographer, Mew's skills really show - we're especially impressed with this folio full of charged body language and stunning close-ups, defining a new standard here at ISM for shots at once both explicit and stunningly beautiful. Thank you and congratulations, Mew!
EMI_LACROIX Date: 01/01/2013
Artist: EMI_LACROIX
Folio: KIRIGAMI
Some folks like to start the new year off with a bang, but not Emi_Lacroix - she prefers to usher it in gently, with a puff of pale powder and an open heart. It's precisely that sensitivity that moved us into presenting her with December's Art Prize - so congratulations, Emi, and may your year be as sweet and beautiful as your winning folio.

LOUP Date: 01/11/2012
Artist: LOUP
Folio: PETICHA
Oh Loup, what big, beautiful eyes you have! All treats (and a few tricks); how could we not give cette belle wolf the October artprize? Felicitations Loup, please come knocking at our door again.
MARLAH Date: 01/10/2012
Artist: MARLAH
Folio: IN_THE_RAW_2
ISM, eat your heart out - we're serving up September's Art Prize tartar, on a silver platter, to Marlah. The savage photographs which make up her folio, 'In The Raw', have quickened our blood, making us acutely aware of the tenderness inside us. Congratulations Marlah!
