Mess around with: Filter>Wave... There are endless possibilities. Or use 'Liquify'.

Alimar pretty much nailed it. Go to your filters, select "Liquify", and start pushing stuff left and right, playing with the strength and size of your brush to get the effects you want.

My Take.

Wave selectively applied to a few rectangular selections with generous feathers.

Second layer with an Artistic Filter (Grain/Horizontal) applied.

And then a special touch ... applying the reversed grain to the areas outside the white lines (into the black).

Version 2.

Took v1, skewed it slightly (as in the OP's graphic) and added a few more waves.
