miss_toys//"legomation"
Miss_Toys puts on her spaceboots and transports us to the world of tiny plastic spacemen who know the real way forward – universal interlocking systems of great structural integrity. When it all goes to hell, Miss_Toys will be laughing from her Lego bunker at all of you fools who failed to prepare.

ayla//"todiefor"
Yes, she most certainly is. Ayla is a total fox who isn’t afraid to act a bit silly and doesn’t take herself too seriously, and her big cheeky grin is more contagious than a yawn in a waiting room. Such a generous spirit is bound to find itself led to ISM eventually, and we’re glad she’s finally made it.

alissa//"the_whites"
Alissa celebrates the simple pleasure of crisp, clean white sheets left to dry in the sunshine, and what she’s created certainly delivers that feeling to her viewer. And oh, what she gets away with in the privacy of her makeshift tent!

madeline//"polar"
Madeline practises restraint. The evidence is all here, but not in the most obvious indicators – no, no, look closer. At the careful compositions, the perfectly-executed controlled release of self and sex, the movement of a body known intensely by its owner, the precise occupation of this contained space.

naima//"open_air"
"I love being naked, there's nothing better, and why not show yourself? It's a way to love your body even more. I've never been so comfortable with myself as I am now."

joana//"LustForLife2" Video
ISM video is a bit of a lucky dip sometimes, both for its creators and its consumers. You never know when you might reach in and get a spontaneous musical performance that rivals the last good gig you went to, and when it comes round, you feel like the luckiest dipper there is.

lea//"highnote"
Lea’s rock goddess incarnation has made an appearance here before, and if you happened to be hanging out on BBC news or some other time-wasting website when she did, make haste to Lea’s collected ISM works to see and hear some of the sweetest crooning there ever was. Today her ‘studio’ is not just for making music – it’s for makin’ pictures too.

jezzabelle//"goldenhour"
You know her type – the adventure-sports girl who’s always on one excursion or another, never afraid to take up any physical challenge, always on the run in one way or another. Today she captures the beach’s most perfect hour, where the sky and the sea are all mercury and fairy floss, the hour that you only know about if you’re outside as much as she is.

ailith//"dia_de_oro"
Ailith lives in a gilded world – and it seems that most of it is created by her alchemic energy. She clearly carries with her a joy that is ever-present and far-reaching, and she has captured some moments of pure rapture in her follow-up exhibition on ISM.

danzig//"the_loft"
Danzig says that her boyfriend really digs her set, and there are a whole buncha folks about to join his team on that. This, though, serves as a reminder of all of the boyfriends who have been digging on their ISM girlfriends for years, supporting their work and their desire to share it – this is the definition of a ‘liberated man’. Thanks, boyfriends – we love you.

joana//"LustForLife1" Video
The winner of last month’s Art Prize, as it turns out, is a real person – and after she had produced such a superhuman set, we have to admit that we were a little suspicious that she might be a bit cyborg. But here we have video footage as proof that she is a real, live, person, doing real human things – like sleeping.

apples//"waking_dead"
Apples has managed to come up with an entirely original venue for her shoot, as if you needed a cathedral to worship a Godess like this one! Get out your hymn books and sing her praises - then down on your knees, boys and girls, and give thanks for the divine seraphim they forgot to tell you about in sunday school.

bobby//"wind_Swept"
Continuing with the theme of nude self-documentation in remote and isolated Australiannesses, Bobby boards her private helicopter and rocks up in her standard flowy-dressed and cotton-undied style to Tasman Island, where the haunting and the wholesome co-exist in quite the same way they do in herself.

cle//"garden_path"
I've always been a bit creeped out by garden gnomes, but Cle has the ability to change my mind about most things just by flashing her sweet smile. She flashes even more than that today, and I think it's safe to assume that the world of the gnomes will never be the same.

tasty//"flexibelle"
The ISM ladies have many assets and talents, but only one is made of 25% elastic. Tasty can do things with her limbs that make us wonder how they’re still attached, but by the end of this folio she is still completely intact. Save your ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs’ for the comments section – we know she’ll appreciate them.
