About this Episode
In this episode Hillary and Nic talk to production illustrator Jim Martin who, in addition to working on Deep Space Nine has worked on Starship Troopers, Alien:Ressurection, The Matrix Reloaded, Princess and the Frog, Oblivion, Big Hero 6 and more! We talk with him about what it was like to jump into Deep Space Nine as his first art job, the many things he worked on as a part of that team such as the Defiant and the Bajoran Solar Sailing ship, and how he has kept the passion and the enthusiasm for art alive throughout his career!
