52 • THE ARTISAN SUMMER 2023 "This was a huge show shot in the United States and Prague and we couldn't have done it without a team of amazing artists. Thank you Chloe Sens, Angel Radefeld Wright, Amy Sparks, Gitte Hennech, and Amy Schmiederer, as well as Tery Patocová and Lada Bimová (Prague team) and all the additional artists in both for their tireless efforts in making it all work." – Angie Wells "I'm grateful for the opportunity to have worked as the Department Head Hair for the second season of Hunters. It has been an absolute pleasure to be part of such a talented and dedicated team and to contribute to the creation of such wonderful characters. Thank you to my team, Lillie Frierson, Susie DeLeon and Cheryl Eckert, for their hard work and dedication in making this a great season." – Edward Morrison THE BEGINNING David Weil, the show creator, and I agreed that Hunters Season 2 was more suited for realism in its look than a stylized version of the period. Except for an episode seven, this season is set in 1979 with flashbacks to the mid-'70s. I used fashion magazines, newspapers, TV shows, and films from the specific years in the storyline for reference and collaborated with the Department Head Hair Edward Morrison and costume designer Christie Wittenborn. THE HUNTERS Jonah (make-up) In Season 2, our lead character Jonah Heidelbaum, played by Logan Lerman, is no longer a boy in age or life experience. I wanted his new look to reflect that he had grown older and that his experiences had hardened him. Logan's face is youthful, and I knew facial hair was essential in giving him an edgier, more mature look. His character was living a dual life, and growing facial hair is a simple way for a man to disguise himself. He had grown a beard over the shutdown and agreed to keep it for the storyline. I didn't cut a hard edge for his beard, as hard lines were not the period's style. I trimmed his beard and mustache using a clipper and scissor-over comb method. I used an eyeliner brush with an EBA Hair Palette to fill in thin spots in his beard. A heated electric beard brush and pomade calmed stray hairs and Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer evened his skin tone. Jonah (hair) We completed the new look with a great haircut. I gave Logan a contemporary "hippie" haircut for the late 1970s. The tools we used to create Jonah's hair included a combination of clippers, shears, texturizing scissors, a blow dryer, and other styling products. Millie (make-up) Jerrika Hinton plays FBI agent Millie Morris, who works secretly with the Hunters. Her character is "no-fuss," but this season more HUNTERS: A NEW PERSPECTIVE CONTRIBUTIONS BY E D W A R D M O R R I S O N | DEPARTMENT HEAD HAIR & CHLOE SENS | KEY MAKE-UP B Y A N G I E W E L L S D E P A R T M E N T H E A D M A K E - U P
