bella_anne//"showandtell"
Bella Anne’s debut is infused with her desire to be generous in sharing. Not all ISM Artists will be so willing to reveal so many sides of themselves at one time, but it’s consistent with her ‘no time wasting’ rule to just get right in there in every situation and experience it to the fullest.

amy_x//"amy_udon"
There are far too many terrible noodle jokes we could use to fill this space, but we’re far too intelligent for that, so instead we’ll spend the time encouraging you to check out all of Amy_X’s lovely (and sometimes controversial!) work in the ISM Archive. This is one to keep your eye on. Or even both, if you’re so inclined.

carol//"wide_world"
This folio has such an exploratory sensibility, and for its creator, it seems to have been just that sort of experience. There’s nothing like testing your self-awareness in an experiment like I Shot Myself, and Carol stood up to the challenge in her naturally graceful way.

ena//"roadrage"
A vivid portrait of the exuberance that comes of adventure. Ena rivals the Noxema girl in curlicued freshness, and extends her brightness out into the frame around her – you may notice some greener greens and bluer blues than you’re used to seeing. That’s her work.

andi & ashby//"interplay_1"
There’s always some excitement when Andi comes around, so we figured you’d be equally welcoming of her partner Ashby, who’s got a few tricks of his own when it comes to nude self-portraiture. We knew she had to have a secret weapon of some sort, and only now is he revealed.

meercat//"cats_meow"
Meercats worldwide, step to the challenge: can you strike a better pose than your evolutionary cousin? Meercat (the lady) has really raised the bar on this one, so don’t just presume that because the members of your species are nature’s posers, you’ll surpass her skills. Meercats, are you listening? No? Oh, when will they get broadband in the Kalahari…

arrabella//"beadazzled"
Every girl has gone through her phase of making beaded friendship bracelets for all and sundry, and Arrabella kept her supplies in case the occasion ever presented itself again. This time, though, she’s making it for a one and only best buddy. ‘Girl’s best friend’ indeed.

ericathekiwi//"violetta"
We don’t care what anyone says – Kiwis are cool. And if you don’t believe us, let Erica be New Zealand’s Ambassador to ISM (and therefore, the world!). If she’s not cool, then we’re not the finest collectors of nude portraits on the web, and, well, we are. So there.

alisha_x//"saccharine"
A delicious sugarshock from our regular London contributor today. Alisha_x has been haunting these pages beautifully since 2005 and always comes through with a fresh idea. Devour this eye candy then drop into the Forum where she lurks frequently, and loves to talk about her shoots and all sorts of other stuff.

phoeniks//"simplyred"
Phoeniks has chosen the boldest of colours with which to represent herself. This is more than just an aesthetic choice – it’s also your statement about who she is and what she’s here to achieve. Knowing that she’s a self-described sensualist, you should be able to fill in the blanks from here…

tom_boi//"golden_boi"
Identity is something that never stops forming and re-forming, no matter where we are in our personal chronologies, and Tom_boi is a brilliant example of that. From bound boi to drummer boi to biker boi, she is overwhelmingly herself, and few truly have the guts to be just that.

isako//"intricacies"
Small-framed and bright-eyed Isako makes us think tiny candy hearts and matchstick citiscapes and other delicately beautiful things. She’s not as fragile as she looks, but we’re still feeling like elephants in the China shop, bumbling around in her presence.

cobain//"bubblesque" Video
Just in case anyone was feeling tense about it, only earth-happy, bioedgradable, grey-water safe soaps were used in Cobain's orb-making adventure. She'd never sully the beauty of something like this with just any dish soap. Soak up the last of the joy as she does the last of the sun.

kiikii//"helix"
Kiikii curves in all the right places, and is pretty crafty at choosing the angles that best highlight her bodyscape. Such curvilinear geometries leave their arcs in our heads and the sharp edges of the world around us are hardly perceptible.
