Schoony

For Tristan “Schoony” Schoonraad, one particular father-son trip was more special than most: he joined his dad — a famed prosthetics and set artist — on the set of Star Wars’ Return Of The Jedi, saw the Forest Moon of Endor and met Harrison Ford, all in a day. From the age of fifteen onward he set out to bring his own thoughts to life. Thirty years and counting, he is still on that mission. He began his career in film as a special effects and make-up artist, and after a friend suggested he show his work outside a movie set, Schoony tested the theory — and never looked back.
