I wanted to upload the reference photo for my upcoming drawing of my son "Andrew Belle". I'm thinking about uploading the reference pics with all my future drawings?

Andrew is a rising singer-songwriter, mainly in the USA but is known in dozens of countries too. 14 of his 16 songs have been on TV shows like Grey's Anatomy. If you like Indie music, you will LOVE his style, lyrics, rhythms and voice! He surely doesn't need me to promote him, but I can't help myself

His latest CD "The Ladder" was #1 on iTunes in 2010 three times for singer-songwriters, and is compared to Coldplay, The Fray and Greg Laswell.

While he was showcasing at SxSW in Austin Texas last March, he was asked to cut loose and make this video, of he and his band goofing off and dressing in strange vintage clothes while singing his song REACH. Funny and Awesome! Watch that HERE: [link]

Also, while at SxSW they made a video of his hit song "THE LADDER" while in "THE JOHN LENNON BUS". He took 1st place with this song in their "John Lennon Song Writing Competition" for POP category. Watch that clip HERE: [link]

Many of you know my very talented son "Andrew Belle".

He going to be a "Showcased" artist at SXSW (south by southwest) this week in Austin Texas. It is a HUUUUUUGE event like a Musical Mardi Gras. It lasts for 5 days and has 100's of bands from everywhere playing at dozens of venues. It's very difficult to get to play there, and most bands have to PAY TO PLAY, but this year (3rd yr) Andrew was invited to be Showcased at 5 venues. See the official SXSW site here: [link]

His show this Thursday at THE FACTORY, will be available via LIVE-STREAM by going here: [link]

He also just started a Live-Stream monthly show where he cooks and plays in his apartment. See his last week entry here: [link]

He is very much into Food shows, and cooking, and just played at the SOUTH BEACH Wine & Food Festival 2 weeks ago and got me meet all his celebrity chef heroes, like Jamie Oliver, Bobby Flay, etc.
