Where did I go?

I have moved my blog to celiabullwinkel.com . My all-new site has an up-to-date blog, new art, and a whole lot more!

Test Pattern Art:

These were way before my time, but test patterns always fascinated me. They are sterile, technical, sometimes busy, but have this lovely sense of design to them. There were also those mysterious patterns with Indian chief heads on them, which made them more eery and mysterious to me.

Here are some of my favorites black and white test patterns:


The mysterious Indian Test Patterns:




Aren't these last two beautiful? Who knows if the programming was any good!

Study of Mr. Amidi

Sometimes he gets frustrated when writing!

I'm really looking forward to the summer. I've learned a lot at my last job, which was graphic design (not animation). Now, it's time to go back to my drawing roots.

I started off with this illustration for this summer's Animation Block Party. This will end up in the program booklet.

Gnomes and Construction Workers

My class had an INCREDIBLE model last month. He was a middle aged man with a big, white beard. His costumes were incredibly original. All three of them!

I worked in ink most of the time. It's getting a little easier now.
Just when I though it couldn't get any more fun, the model dressed as a lawn gnome! He had the big ears and everything. It was a real scream.

Channeling Golden Books

I wanted this number two to be in a golden books style. Flash can't capture those nice brushy gradients, but I was happy with how it came out.



Also, Flash Cs4 has a pattern brush that makes patterns out of your symbols.

Trippy!

Flash Sketch

I've been trying out the newest version of Flash. Here's is a sketch I did last week.

This character will be in my upcoming film. Far from being final, but pretty close to how I see her looking.
