An introduction.


I have just written a blog about everything,
and deleted it by accident.
So here we go again.

The main aspects of Ani Graves are:

Age: 22

Sign: Scorpio

Status: In Relationship (& its awesome) With Robbie Munn.

Job: Part time carer for people with mental and physical disabilities

Education: Studying a degree in 'Contemporary Photographic Practice'

What i do: Photography, Writing, Art & Music.

My photography:



My work revolves around self portraiture,
and the investigation into the inner psche,
with reference to greek mythology,
and 'the shadow',flowing alongside
the contours of the use of the psychological/spirtual mask of our true selves.








My main influences are;
Francesca Woodman
Sam Taylor-Wood
Annie Leibovitz
Gregory Crewdson
Zena Holloway








Just sit back,
& let your sins reflect upon your skin.
You can't hear a sound.
The peace of pain,
Is deafening.







My Music <3

I have been writing music & lyrics for the last 8 years or so.
performing on and off, when other commitments will allow.
My aim when i have graduated - Miss Anne Graves BA (Hons).
Is to dedicate myself to making an album,
and performing further afield.

Some of my music can be found on: www.myspace.com/anigraves

And, if you're interested,
here are some of my lyrics from a song called;

'Muted Colours'


'You're no longer here under,
my skin.
I lost you pacing spaces.
I even tattooed over,
places your touch had been.
I drank away your disgraces..

& i loved your muted colours,
and i loved your silver tongue.
That you locked into a thousand faces,
and then wore to fool everyone.'




So, that's what i do.
I like geeky things, and watching animated comedies.
I spend as much time possible with this man:






Love is a wonderful thing <3









Starwars + Star Trek = Awesome.

Photoshop is my homeboy,
and was even born the same year as me =D

And that my friends, is an introduction.

This has been Ani Graves.
Aka AniPants.

And remember
'Most of the shadows of this life are caused by standing in our own sunshine.' ♥

  4. Welcome, new blog on the block. Looking forward to the next posting. I'd give that shot of Robbie to the man himself - he knows how to photoshop it into Jesus.
