- Andrew Wyeth
- Written by Zach in News
As I’m sure you now know, 91 year old Andrew Wyeth died last week. His death allowed many an excuse to reexamine his work.
His paintings operate on both a subjective personal plane and a transcendent universal plane. The subjects he paints incite emotional power, but it’s because they are intensely personal subjects. They are neighbors, friends, locations near his home. He imprisons the emotions he feels in tempera or watercolor, like a fly in amber. But the moods we experience when we see his works feel transcendent. A stone wall might …

A couple weeks ago Mashable awarded NoiseTrade.com with the prestegious “People’s Choice Web Award” for the music category (even beating out Pandora and last.fm)! Our very own Portland Studios Interactive team developed NoiseTrade along with Derek Webb and his team, so we’ve put together a quick interview with Mark Johnson & Paul Johnson of our interactive team to help explain what NoiseTrade is and why/how the heck Portland Studios developed it (isn’t Portland Studios an illustration/animation company)?We haven’t done many podcasts, and I can’t say that we’ll keep doing them, but it’s fun experimenting. Let us know what you think.
