Martin Gee hired as art director of Oregon Business
Amazing designer, incredible illustrator and all-around nice guy Martin Gee — laid off in June by the boneheads at the San Jose Mercury News — is employed again.
Martin is the new art director for Oregon Business, a 20,000-circulation monthly magazine based in Portland. His first day will be Sept. 19.

Nice work Martin. Can’t imagine what drove you to take your road show to Portland, but all’s well that end’s well, right. :)

Congrats to you, Martin. I won’t be in Vegas this year to congratulate you in person. The Merc’s loss is Oregon Business’ gain. Huge gain.

I’m a big fan of your work, Martin. Glad to see you’ll be back in action soon.

Martin, like Julie, I won’t be in Las Vegas to congratulate you. You’re a stratospheric talent in this business and I’m glad someone recognized what the Merc obviously didn’t.
Remember the horde of kooks in the back of the room in Houston yelling your name? (MARTIN! MARTIN! MARTIN!) We’re all doing it right now.
Congratulations on the new gig! All the best.
