MS Bike 2009

Dear Friends & Family,
My best friend’s girlfriend, Lala, has a sister, Ani, who has been fighting Multiple Sclerosis for about 18 years.  This year I had decided to volunteer for some kind of an event, do something to give back to the community or to a cause.   Now, when Lala earlier in the year told me she was putting together a team for Bike MS 2009 and if I would like to join, it didn’t take me long to say ‘yes!’  A great way to actively contribute to a closer finish line for a cure.  So in early October, we will be challenging ourselves for a wonderful cause by biking over 60 miles, maybe even 100 miles, who knows!
In order for my team to participate, each one of us will need to raise a minimum of $350 on our own (more would be amazing!) and I would like to ask all of you for your help. I completely understand that this is a financially difficult time for everyone but I am genuinely asking all of you if you would please donate for a cause that is very close to home.  And you don’t have to donate much, but please donate something, whatever you think is right for you. I would really appreciate it all.  Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
-Armen

Paintin Of The Week (POTW): Swamp

It's been a while... real quickly: I am now at Cartoon Network, storyboarding on a new show called 'Adventure Time'.  You can see the pilot short here, that was done originally for/by Nickelodeon.

Ok... now at work, Bert Youn and I decided to do a painting/illustration a week.  So we wrote down about 20 subjects each and tossed them in a jar.  Now each week we pick a subject and paint/illustrate them.  Most of the other storyboard artists joined in as well.  Hopefully this project will keep my blog active again.

This weeks topic was 'swamp'.
