Martin Gee Interview


MG: Woah!!! I'm getting flashbacks! I forgot all about that. How did you ever find me? Did a search on the internet eh?

Wow. I did that stuff early when I was starting college. I was such a crappy artist. That was back when I wanted to get into comic books. I've matured some but not a whole lot. What do you want to know? I might have photocopies of the drawings. But mostly likely, I threw them away. Sorry. I went through a major spring cleaning last year.

Did that mermaid game ever come out? The guy (Phil Mikkelson?) who hired me let me borrow a prototype of the game. It was pretty fun. Some of the images on the screen (the story) were from my drawings. Woah... more flashbacks. I just did the drawings. I don't know who designed it.

I also did some drawings for a volleyball game too. There was also a game with a bear on a skateboard. But they didn't use my drawings. Wow.

I did drawings for 'venice beach volleyball' and 'mermaids of atlantis.' for the volleyball, I remember

  • a girl in the bikini getting surprised from a ball landing in front of her and squeezing a bottle of sun tan lotion
  • a guy getting hit in the head with a volleyball
  • a woman standing next to a sign that says venice beach or something like that
  • a guy jumping up getting ready to spike and
  • (unused) was a volleyball with a growling face coming right towards the viewer

    For Mermaids I remember

  • one of mermaid on the left, the bad guy in the middle and the very squid on the right
  • a mermaid, a merman and the squid playing. one had a hang-glider/kite type thing
  • an atlantis type house with a merman in front
  • the mermaid sitting on a rock
  • 2 spot illos of a sunken treasure and of a rock with 'the end' carved in it.

    I don't know if these were used in the instruction book. But I do remember seeing versions of these drawings part of the cinema/story screens. I think that's about it.
