I was looking on the back of the AVE manuals, and some had this dude named Martin Gee listed as one of the artists. I tracked him down, and he seemed surprised, he even forgot about the AVE days until I jogged his memory. I'll let him take it from here.
Martin Gee :
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 in to 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 on 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.
