‘GDTIIX’ – Technological Brand and Logo Artwork

“GDTIIX” is a brand logo explaining a digital transactional database index.

For general discussions regarding a new Digital Transactional Database Index product/service I’ve created a brand logo.

The product/service has been entitled GDTIIX.

Full logo shown above with my conceptual technological ideas to maximise global demographic digital auditing efficiency.

My branded logo uses business phonetics, ancient accounting symbology and recognisable Trade and Industry signifiers to eloquently explain its unique technological purpose.

Art is a business profession, an inimitable occupation.

Interconnecting commercial elements with technological art is exciting.

I would encourage dear Readers to research ancient accounting methods to see how I arrived at the GDTIIX brand logo design.

Multiple Seismic Waves [second version]

‘Multiple Seismic Waves [second version]’ [6th July 2019] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, Carbon pencil on 160gsm A4 Gouache paper.  Digitally edited photograph.

‘Multiple Seismic Waves [second version]’ [6th July 2019] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist is very much another art experiment with sound and seismic waves in mind.

Here is the first version I did in blue ink pen:

‘Multiple Seismic Waves [first version]’ [2016] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, Blue ink on A4 paper, artwork whereabouts unknown.

The first version is currently ‘missing’.  I really don’t know where it is!

I might like to varnish some or all of my sketches.

My second version of the ‘Multiple Seismic Waves’ series includes varying frequency waves, as follows:

One full page seismic wave centrally placed.  Twenty three clearly visible smaller seismic waves.  Finally, there are also some lovely lightly penciled full page high amplitude, oscillation styled, long wavelength patterns too.

I love these artworks for all the conceptual ideas they contain.

Forget Me Nots and The Bee

‘Forget-Me-Nots and The Bee’ [2010] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, Oil on canvas, 24 ins x 18 ins.

I’ve decided to share ‘Forget-Me-Nots and The Bee’ [2010] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist having, only this year, recently seen Van Gogh’s ‘Roses and Beetle’ [1890] painting here:

‘Roses and Beetle’ [1890] by Vincent van Gogh, Oil on canvas, 33.5 cm x 24.5 cm.

I painted ‘Forget-Me-Nots and The Bee’ using a photograph from 2003.  Here is the photograph I took that day having set my camera onto a tripod, waiting hours for the best photo opportunity:

Photograph dated 2003 from a home garden, inspiration for ‘Forget-Me-Nots and The Bee’.

The bees kept me busy following them around from flower to flower, as they never sat still, haha.

I had not seen ‘Roses and Beetle’ by Van Gogh at the time of producing my artwork.  I love that artists wish to explore nature and produce classical compositions all their own.

Van Gogh’s painting has encouraged me to share my earliest painting experiments.

Interestingly the way I signed this painting has its earliest roots from my high school art class.  That’s the way I used to sign my high school artworks 🙂

My art teacher said she loved the way I’d created my signature.  ‘Creative Mind’ has my full signature, whilst my latest artworks are stylistically signed ‘Matt’.

Thank you Vincent.

Hope you enjoy.

“Young Pegasus” – Sketch study two

Young Pegasus pencil sketch June 2019 Swotmarket Suffolk UK England Octopodes

Young Pegasus pencil sketch June 2019 Stowmarket Suffolk UK England Octopodes

‘Whence I lighted upon this magnificent horse, its beauty quite Unfathomable in every way, I immediately envisaged a sketch for his handsome expression and exquisite pleasance.

Eyes likened to the grey seal pup, spirit as Universal thunders, herds of fallow deer for movement and his adorable grace equaling that of the Octopodes.’

Please note the photograph this second sketch is derived from is with the kind courtesy of First Choice Dressage, Livery Yard in Stowmarket, Suffolk, England, UK.

nb fun, fun, fun, fun fact, I actually pranced about with vigour after signing this sketch 🙂

‘Self Portrait of a Parrot’ [2010] Pastel underpainting, Oil on canvas

‘Self Portrait of a Parrot’ [2010] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, Pastel underpainting of an Oil on canvas, 20 ins x 16 ins.

As an adult artist ‘Self Portrait of a Parrot’ is actually my first experiment with oil paints.  Having produced a lovely pastel artwork, shown above, I decided to overpaint the pastel parrot in oil using the same canvas.

Here is my ‘Self Portrait of a Parrot’ oil on canvas overpainting:

My 2010 ‘Self Portrait of a Parrot’ Oil over Pastel painting is inspired by a photograph.  Creating texture appeals to me with most every oil painting.

Having purchased new canvases in 2012, I wanted to produce what I regard as professionally crafted oil paintings.  My oil painting ‘Creative Mind’ [2012] is the first of my professional artworks.
