I started a new series:
Fauna

This time mostly photomanipulations with the help of some stockpictures.
At this point many thanks to the wonderful supporter of Art.
Full Credits on my dA account.
Special thanks to Aimee Fitzgerald who was so inspiring
and all the other stockuploaders <3


Hope you like it

Sie lag. Und ihr erhelltes Wesen
war leise, ruhig gegangen.
Hat sich im faden Mondenschein
im stummen Anderen gefangen
und hat in all dem lauten Sein
die Zeichen still gelesen.

Von Außen schien es wie ein Schrei,
der sich gleich tausendfach verliert.
Der trübe schwimmt und blind verloren,
die buntgeblümte Wand - Im Jetzt - passiert.
Dann zog ein müder Funken neu geboren,
an ihrem blass, gewölbten Leib vorbei.

So zart und leis, war ihr Gesicht.
Die fahle Haut im fein gewirkten Blau.
Verlässlichkeit in dem was Zukunft heisst
und auch im Schimmer ihres frischen Augentau
der ohne Müh das spröde Band zerreißt,
und mit dem ewig letzten Atemzug zerbricht.

mein herz trägt seinen namen
doch schweige ich
so wie der fisch, der tot an meiner schulter schwimmt

es regnet salven in den gassen
da unten stehen sie
fallen

die zeit ist reif
zu schreien
sein ohr tropft blut

mein herz trägt seinen namen
doch schweige ich

© anja millen

die ich im blutsturm steh
teil meine seele nicht
noch teil ich mein gesicht
vergänglichkeit ist mein
und kommt
und geht


der rote hain
trägt morgenfrüchte

© anja millen

sing ich deine vergessnen lieder
stumm in meinem hirngeflecht
stäube dir die brust
und gieß dir morgentau ins haar
deine fesseln
tiefenblau

ach

was sind das für zeiten
mädchen
in denen wir rasen
ohne flügel stürzen
ins innere auge
im sturm
verlebt

gehörnte momente
ganz still erduldet
dann
dann schreist du
unterm lichten nachtmeer

ich kümmer mich


© anja millen

ohh yes, I'm still alive ^^
finally done with moving in my new home and  hopefully sooner or later creative again.

kisses and hugs
anja

meine felder sind gerodet
du zeigst mir sterne
ich taste lehm
unterm mond ist schattenland

Es ist mir, als sei die Hälfte meines Lebens ein Traum der darauf wartet die andere Hälfte zu erfüllen.

I added lately some new stuff in photography and digital art.
Go check it out :)

May I introduce the new Emo series:
lil Treants
pencil on paper


















more in the drawing gallery section.

and a lot more pictures in the photography section.

I'm going into hibernation.
It's cold outside and the flu is inside and even the chrismas tree doesnt help :)

I wish all my visitors the very best for 2010.

May you be able to let your dreams come true.

those short days and long nights, feeling sleepless all the time and my brain is working slow, slower, slowest.

creativity is somewhere outside in the cold cloud creeping around my dark tent where I'm hiding in

here and there some little spots of eyecatching things, saving them in my mind for longer nights.

It's not that I hate the short days it's, just my nights could be a bit longer. Or some really good news during the daytimes.
something like: hey I like to print a book of your art, hey I like to sponsor you (that would be really really good news!^^)  or just a: you're sexy like hell thing:P

durch und durch gestochen
die luft wird kalt
und doch zu schwer zum atmen

zwischen 4 und 5 uhr früh
weine ich ein bisschen
später nur vereinzelt

du bist mir einmalig
wie nichts sonst
unique with black shadows

die luft ist kalt
ich möchte für dich mitatmen
lass meine flügel deine sein

we still fight

I couldnt resist.
After a few years not blogging    anymore,  I started over.
eyeweiss.blogspot.com is my new little blogginghome, where I collect inspiring stuff from fantastic artists, writers and some of my own words and pics.
It's mainly in german (sry guys^^)

Ich hoffe es gefällt  und unterhält euch.

my birthday today. another year is gone and I have the feeling  nothing important happened. not for me, not for my art.
there were of course some highlights, some yippieh's and woowowow's, but still... waiting for more, dreaming of more.

when will I not only proclaim: I'm an artist? when will I really be one? selling art, making exhibitions and not only a titbit here and there. Doing nothing else but pictures, getting all this out of my brain and working for having one day - someday-, only for a few hours, a completely empty head.

enough crying :) the next year begins, a new year, new chances and hopefully new inspirations.

*hugs*

A few days ago Alex Bram wrote me an e-mail:
...I am producing a horror based film festival this August 6th in Los Angeles, CA and I want to display some of your artwork....

I was like: wohooooo :)
The film festival is called: Carnival of Darkness, make sure to check out the website and if you're in LA -> go buy a ticket.

Alex chose 3 artworks: my self: Roots, one artwork of my new fairy tale edition: Die Verführung der sechsten Braut and a portrait-photography: so oder so ähnlich.

They will be projected onto a state of the art Screen (15' H x 38' wide).

Too bad LA is too far away and too expensive  to travel there, but I'm happy and kind of proud.

For the second time, one of my pictures was chosen for being published on stern.de.

The first one was part of the "best nude pictures".
And, you won't believe it, this time a self of mine is part of the: "most beautiful people-shots".
I really appreciate this, but hey guys - are you sure with the "most beautiful" part? You should investigate in this :)

ahh and: me I'm supafly - supa dupa fly^^

Weeee, I just started (as usual) a new series called: Dark Walls.
I found that great texture made by: Stephen and I couldnt resist and there we go.

And! as you can see, there is a new feature in da house:
Above the news on the site you can now see my latest additions to my gallery. So you don't need to browse my whole gallery to find the new stuff.
(Well you should browse it anyway^^).






I'm still looking for people above 65 in my town. But no, there is no one who likes to be naked and beautiful in front of my camera at this age. Why?
Guess I have to wait until I'm that young.

my new youtube video:
check it here

I started a surreal/fantasy series: New Fairy Tales.
Since I was a child and began to read books, I loved Fairy Tales. So I decided to  bring out some fantasies of mine to visual light.
Furthermore I'm planning to write the fitting Fairy Tales to the artworks.
But first the pictures.
You can check them out here: exhibition/digital art/fairy tales.

There are also some new photographies in the general and "just goggles" sections as well as in the "self" department:)

Today my thoughts are banned by the unexpected death of Michael Jackson. His music was always part of my life, especially in the 80's.
One of the greatest performers & musicians is gone...

Farewell Jacko

I spent a few days in Italy/Tuscany, it was an awesome trip. 3000km all in all but worth every single inch.

I visited Firence, Livorno, San Gimignano, Volterra, Montepulciano, Val d'Orcia, wonderful places and the weather was wooowowow:).

After 12 years my first holidays.
Some pictures in my photography section are available, also some new stuff in photography and digital art.

 Have a look around and enjoy it.

Fluss

dir sang ich ein Lied
dir wusch ich das Haar
mir malte ich Lippen
und Schenkel weiß


dir grub ich ein Grab
dir schnitt ich das Tuch
mich zog ich nachtschwarz
und tränen bestickt


Mittagssonne
wie du mir mein Leid verbrämst
mir zu spotten mit deinem Licht
das ich blind doch nur mehr fühle

Jasmin
der sich an der Mauer rankt
vor dem Hügel Erde
der mir einst mein Leben war

lass mich die Zweige richten
mein nahes Bett
es glitzert träge
bereit zu sein

bereit

Amon Isis und meine Beklopptheit haben den Sprung ins Blogbett gewagt und werden nun gemeinsam lustig und *hust* fidel unter http://we.are.corrupted.de unsere komischen Absonderungen der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich machen.
Besucht uns und bereut es :P

was going on.
I was so fking sick^^, that I didnt even had the brain for creating some art. But since Im feeling better now, there is a bunch of new stuff you can see in my galleries.
Check out the photography and Digital Art section.
I had some wonderful shoots with my daughters and was allowed to work with a picture of Lucyanna ( the self- queen ) - see Digital Art / circus.

Anything else?
Of course!
Joseph Decker aka hell-on a stick (http://hell-on-a-stick.deviantart.com/)
a wonderful writer and poet, was inspired by some art work of me and wrote this incredible great poem for me^^
thanks again joseph:

Down where the onions grow

Anger that chokes off the life
down in the underside
with no rope to fathom it

CANNOTCANTCANNOT

Seven miles deep, mama

Lord
i'm crawling my skull for sleep
beating myself for forgetting

The flail of memory is better than your tongue

I howl in public until my head hurts
I stifle myself with my balls in a fist
your teeth in my third eye

Your cunt eats my lips and i like it
I LIKE IT
I like it with the gravel in your voice
ricocheting around  behind my eyes
like some ancient equation
for slavery
or stupidity

Weißt du, sagte sie, es gibt diese Tage an denen meine Welt sich in kleine Tropfen auflöst und im Klo runterspült.

Diese Tage sind meine Abwassertage, da bin ich Kanalarbeiter und wate durch die Scheiße und ziehe hier und dort ein fälschlicherweise reingeworfenes mit Leben vollgesogenes Tampon raus, mit Tränen gefüllte Pariser und zwischendrin die Reste vom Vortag.

Am Abend wenn ich den Gullideckel unter meinen Füßen zurückschiebe und mit meinen gelben Gummistiefeln die dämmernde Straße entlang watschel, sehe ich hinter hell erleuchteten Fenstern das, was mir morgen begegnet.
Einsamkeit ist anders.

Hello, hello
I started a new little series "portraits of pain".

Perhaps you like to check out my (photography/portraits of pain) section.

I'm thinking of an exhibition with those & more, probably also with some portraits of pain of animals.
So if you are someone with a fitting place and space for such a kind of art, feel free to contact me.

If you dont have the right location but money - just buy them^^

Since my new website is online,  I dont even know if I have visitors at all. The old one had so many hits and always visitors - I need a counter! Human males preferred^^
I'm not sure if the way I now present my art (without the chance to comment) is the best way - we will see.

Next weekend I have a shooting with steffi  aka skin-deep, and I'm so excited, we have some crazy ideas and I hope we can make a few woowowoow pictures.

And here a  self from today - Und meine Tränen siehst du nicht
(photography/self)

anja

Today I got the message that a friend of me passed by.
It seems that the older I am, the more messages of this kind I get. Feeling helpless about this and knowing sometime it will be me, who produces such a message for someone somewhere. I'm sad, I would have so many things to tell him and to share with him, but I can't anymore.
He just bought a new camera to start over with and I'm still waiting for the results of his LOMO photographies - I will wait forever now.
I admired his humour and the relaxed way he saw his horrible illness.
Mattes, wherever you are, I know for sure you finally have no pain anymore and I bet there will be mmorpgs too ^^. I know you loved this work: Goddess of War. (digital art/fantasy)
I dedicate it to you.

anja

Perhaps the beginning of a new series, right now I'm not sure where this is going to lead me.
I'm fascinated in old photographs and also in the imagination of the future, so going forward 500 years and then looking straight back a few hundred years: How would an analog picture (assuming they would still exist) look like?
This and my addiction to modifying objects and/or household items brings up my first artwork in this style: Windguard. (digital art/surreal)
A tea strainer reborn as wind engine, hope you enjoy it.

anja

yippieh
you may now rss-feed me :)

just click above in the location bar or hit: rss-feed

furthermore a new picture: requiem for a dream, from the shooting with Yvonne is finished, hope you like it^^.

anja

Well- it was about time to change something, and there we go:

corrupted.de is now also known as "anja millen imagery", beside that: the domain: http://www.anjamillen.de will work too.

The biggest change for me is the move from a pure blog interface to a website more focussed on my work as an artist, not ignoring my poems and prose but separate them from my pictures.

There will still be news here and you can comment on them and hey, I have a guestbook now too :) *wink wink*
Soon you will also be able to rss-feed this site, but I hope you already enjoy the new design and user interface.
