It was brought to my attention that my hometown Conway’s newpaper did a cool little article on my involvement with Limp Bizkit.  Thought I’d throw it up for you guys to check out.

The excerpt reads the following:

“Max Avedisian, a 2007 graduate of Kennett High School and a telented graphics student, was recently hired by the rock band Limp Bizkit as graphic designer for the group’s web site.  Avedisian has had a lifelong interest in graphic art and design.  He entered the graphics communications program, a part of the Mount Washington Valley Career and Technical Center at Kennett High School during his junior year and further developed his skills and interest in the field.

During the two years he studied in Theresa Sires’ class, he entered a portfolio of his photo montages and designs into the New Hampshire Scholastic Art Awards and was awarded a silver key.

Avedisian is currently a student at Full Sail University and met Fred Durst, singer of Limp Bizkit, through X-Box Live.  Durst was familiar with the work Avedisian had done for The Armpit (http://www.thearmpit.net) — a fansite for Limp Bizkit.  Avedisian has been creating content for The Armpit for 6 or 7 years now.

Durst was impressed with Avedisian’s work and asked him if he would be interested in making Limp Bizkit’s new website.

Avedisian immediately pitched an idea and got to work on it.  In the process, Durst invited Avedisian to visit and spend the holidays in Los Angeles, where Avedisian stayed for about a week.  While experiencing L.A., he met comedian Tom Green, among others.

While working on the new Web Site at Durst’s house and getting to know his family, Avedisian got to check out the sights of Hollywood and see first-hand the recording process for the new Limp Bizkit album currently in works.

Avedisian is back at Full Sail University where he will be graduating this June.  Since he has returned he has been asked to go on an international tour with Limp Bizkit, which he has agreed to do.  According to Avedisian, “It is a dream come true, to say the least!”.

“We look forward to his ongoing success in graphic design”, Sires said.

Thanks to everyone who said congrats and sent me kind messages, this whole journey has been very fortunate and I appreciate the love!
