Hello,
My name is Melissa Hassler. I am the office coordinator for Mel Shaw Art Studio. Mel Shaw will be having an art show and I wanted to invite you.
The art show will be taking place on December 13th 12pm - 8pm and December 14th 12pm-6pm
at JLI Academy 4422 Pershing Ave Stockton CA 95207
JLI and Mel Shaw will have art work on display and will have reproductions available for purchase. This will be the first time that Mel Shaws artwork will be on display to the public.
There will be food and beverages, a raffle and a special meet and greet with Mel Shaw on Saturday December 13th from 3-6 pm.
Just in case you were not familiar with Mel Shaw here is a little info:
He has contributed to “Fantasia” (1940), “Bambi” (1941), and “The Wind in the Willows,” which later became a segment in “The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad” (1949).
His Disney career was interrupted by World War II, when Mel served the U.S. Army Signal Corp. as a filmmaker under Lord Lewis Mountbatten, helping produce films including a live action/animated documentary of the Burma Campaign. He also served as art editor and cartoonist for the “Stars & Stripes” newspaper in Shanghai.
Mel designed and created the original Howdy Doody marionette puppet for NBC; illustrated the first “Bambi” children’s book for Disney; designed children’s toys, architecture, and even master plans for cities, including Century City, California.
Mel offered skill and knowledge to such Disney motion pictures as “The Rescuers” (1977), “The Fox and the Hound” (1981), “The Great Mouse Detective” (1986), “Beauty and the Beast” (1992), “The Lion King” (1994), and more.
Please email me if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Melissa
