As a child of the 70’s, Shawn Schuster was born into the dawn of sci-fi, fantasy and horror movies. Inspired by such classics as Star Wars, Conan the Barbarian and the Friday the 13th films, Shawn immersed himself in these genres.

Later in life, Shawn pursued art as a career, influenced mainly by the movie magic effects wizards like Tom Savini and Dick Smith. His focus veered from entertainment effects to computer effects and finally onto Graphic Design as a means to pay the bills, but entertaining through his imagination and creativity is still his ultimate goal.

Aside from gaming and podcasting, Shawn enjoys many other hobbies including gardening, rebuilding classic cars, home improvement and writing about himself in the 3rd person.

What is ONCE Media?

Organic. Natural. Classic. Environmental. These 4 words were scribbled onto a piece of paper as I struggled to think of concepts that defined me. Glancing down at the paper, I realized the first letter of each word formed another word. ONCE Media was born.

ONCE Media is the web hub for all things Shawn Schuster. It’s a place for me to coordinate and contain my many projects, including my podcasts, audiobook(s), personal blog and other future ventures. Feel free to explore the site and contact me with any questions or comments.
