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.

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!

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.

Folio: CRIMSON_SILK
At once menacing, enticing and ecstatic, Mari_jane invites us into a world of intrigue and fantasy.

Please accept our art prize this month dear creature of beauty!
