Seismic Sound Wave Masterpieces

‘Twenty One Particular Seismic Waves’ [12th August 2020] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, dip nib pen using original iron gall ink recipe on A3 [180 gsm] Artist’s paper.

Without your physically seeing these artworks it’s not easy for me to explain the quality I feel I’ve produced through my iron gall ink pieces.  I’m immensely delighted whenever I view these works myself.

Dip nib pen calligraphy with its magnificent arty fine lines is providing me with pUrE ArT HaPpINeSs.

Twenty One Particular Seismic Waves‘ [12th August 2020] is inspired by Andy Warhol’s iconic screenprinting Pop Art brand works.

Twenty one individual vertical seismic waves each with their own flavour of uniqueness, see above.

‘Five Vertical Three Horizontal Sound Waves #1’ [12th August 2020] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, dip nib pen using original iron gall ink recipe on A3 [180 gsm] Artist’s paper.

A spirally kind of perfection in ‘Five Vertical Three Horizontal Sound Waves #1’ shown above.  The fifth vertical [from the left] is actually the first, as I worked the paper from right to left.  The lowest placed soundwave is first of the horizontal waves.  Varying pressure regularly upon the paper to create focal points of interest.

Speed of nib pen movement is fairly consistent throughout all eight of these soundwaves.

For this piece I made the lines especially wavy to replicate a green monochrome electronic oscillator display I’d seen my Dad working with decades ago.  He kept this overtly under the stairs for sometime.  I remember thinking many times it was such a cool piece of equipment.

I switched the confounded thing on every now and again purely for the joy of its perplexing display.  There are famous movies, books and television series having fed my incredible boyhood imagination regarding the potential pretend-play of this oscillator.

‘Triple Seismic Waves #5’ [May 2020] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, dip nib pen using original iron gall ink recipe on A3 [180 gsm] Artist’s paper.

I produced ‘Triple Seismic Waves #5‘ a few months ago in May 2020.  Due to storing this to dry, I didn’t sign it at the time, whilst working on other pieces.  Going through my archive of artworks, upon its rediscovery I promptly signed it for its beauty this day of the 12th August 2020.

I love the noticeably rhythmic changes in seismic wavelengths across this piece.  In reproductive simile of seismographic lines I generally work the ink quite rapidly.  There is a pleasure all of its own for every artist working specific movements.
