Mel Shaw has contributed some memorable works in the art and movie industries.


Jagged Lines  Yesterday evening I had the great pleasure of discovering a gem in my own  backyard. JLI Academy located right here in my hometown of Stockton, California is  a two year old art academy founded by Jon Guerzon who comes from an animation  background. And through this connection to animation he has found a powerful way  of inspiring, supporting and helping to develop young local artists.
