- ipdb.notes
- First System 80A game.
We asked Doug Watson to tell us about his pre-production backglass art. He replies:The story is simply that after printing up the first sample glass (the one that I have) the execs at Gottlieb decided it was too extreme. Keep in mind this was 1980 and they were still using Gordon Morison as their primary artist. Gordon's work was friendly and accessible and he had been their signature artist for 20 years. I was the new guy they were trying out. Gottlieb still took pride in their 'family friendly' image, especially compared to what had been done by Dave Christensen at Bally in the 1970's. While I proceeded on to other projects, another artist at Ad Posters, Dave Moore, created a painting based on my design minus the naked green bat winged babes decorating the display windows. Dave's painting allowed Ad Posters to showcase their new 4 color process on glass printing capability.
