Paul Jones
Paul Jones began his career in the late '80's working at Pinewood Studios in England on such films as Nightbreed, Highlander II:The Quickening and Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth. For the latter Jones was solely responsible for redesigning and applying the iconic "Pinhead" make-up.

In 1993 Jones relocated to Toronto, Canada to start his own company. Over the past 30 years, Paul Jones Effects Studio provided effects for such feature films as Ginger Snaps, Bride of Chucky, Resident Evil: Retribution 3D, Silent Hill, Shoot 'Em Up, Silent Hill: Revelation (3D) and The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones (for which he received a Canadian Screen award for outstanding makeup).

For television, Jones was makeup effects designer on several series include Orphan Black, F/X The Series, Man Seeking Woman, and CTV's Cardinal (for which he received another Canadian Screen award for outstanding makeup) as well as creating all prosthetic effects for season one of Amazon's The Boys.

Recently becoming freelance, Paul has been able to contribute his artist skills on the UK prosthetics teams for the new Wes Anderson feature film Asteroid City and Season 3 of Netflix's The Witcher.

He is currently Prosthetics and Animatronics Designer on season 6 of the hit FX series What We Do In The Shadows.
