When a magnitude 6.8 earthquake shook Olympia, Wash., in 2001, shopowner Jason Ward discovered that a sand-tracing pendulum had recorded the vibrations in the image above.
Seismologists say that the “flower” at the center reflects the higher-frequency waves that arrived first; the outer, larger-amplitude oscillations record the lower-frequency waves that arrived later.
“You never think about an earthquake as being artistic — it’s violent and destructive,” Norman MacLeod, president of Gaelic Wolf Consulting in Port Townsend, told ABC News. “But in the middle of all that chaos, this fine, delicate artwork was created.”

Science Guys II by ~TravisTheGeek
I was a little busy with work this week, plus I was feeling a little burned out after laying it all out for last week’s drawing, so it’s kind of a simple one this week. Still, it provided a few unexpected challenges. I’m still working on hitting likenesses when I’m drawing real people and still staying true to the style I’m going for. Plus back-lighting is quite difficult. I’m still trying to improve my grasp on normal lighting, so something this dramatic was quite the challenge.
