10 Out Of Tenn

by JRFortson

10 Out Of Tenn © JRFortson
 
Portrait of artist JRFortson (United States)
Added on June 29, 2009 16:30
Pencil



Trent Dabbs is the founder of the music group "10 out of Tenn" and he recently asked my son "Andrew Belle" www.myspace.com/andrewbelle to join the NEW "10 out of Tenn" group and become 1 of the new 10!!! The "10 out of Tenn" are basically 10 "rising stars" out of Tennessee (USA) who tour the country together like in the movie "Walk the Line" where several musicians toured together. Check out some "10 out of Tenn" music www.10outoftenn.com

Now that my son is a minor celebrity, hopefully Stars-Portraits will let me post drawings of him here?

This photo was slightly out of focus, except for the center of his face. I tried to capture that effect here.

for a CLOSE UP go here: ricksdrawings.blogspot.com/2009/06/trent-dabbs.html

I'm his biggest fan! HA! Listen to one of his NEW songs on the www.10outoftenn.com website in the site player - Andrew Belle called "Static Waves" Really good. His new 11 song cd will be on itunes in September. Better than stuff on myspace! :grin: :roll: :hi:

He's a lady killer for sure, ha! He looks real good on that vid clip on Brite Rev. He's been down in Tenn for 2 weeks, getting settled in the house he shares with some band called "Lorien". One of their members (Thomas) is the one who mixed his "Ladder" cd! What a life he has! We ALL say, "it's good to be Drew"! HA! But it really is! He will be back this weekend and throwing a big July 4th party with his GF in Chicago with all his friends. We won't miss it. Wish ya'll could make it! What are you and Dean doing for the 4th holiday? :laugh: Kidding, ha! I know the 4th is only celebrated in USA and Britain! :oO: :laugh: :grin: :hi: :blowkiss:

Hey Rick...nice...I think the best ones bring something that wasn't in the photo to life - don't you? AND - I think you must have done that here...looks good! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:as to drawing your son - there is or was someone on site who was herself a little known model - and posted self-portraits! So... why not? :D :hi: :hi: :hi:

 JRFortson - 03/07/09, 20:56 reply
I THINK I know what you mean? You'd have to see the photo. I think I figured out, that good drawings with "objects that are out of focus in the background" sorta fool the brain? Oh, and our friend Lanka has already drawn my son here: www.stars-portraits.com/en/portrait-91589.php?origin=member I'm next! HA!

Hey Thanksss Shahin master! Little diff for me to take all but eyes out of focus? I've been afraid to, cuz by the time u are that deep into a drawing, you don't want to experiment! :laugh: :oO: :grin: :roll: :hi:

 shahin - 07/07/09, 06:13 reply
You speak about your works modestly!..out of focus? Every part of your drawings is sharp as a razor blade! By the way I put two fantastic works (Salvador Dali and Louis Armstrong) in to the waiting list but it seems admin is in slumber! It is not approved yet (a funny joke at the end, the cause of delay: she thinks it is better to exhibit them in the louver before she shows them in the site!) :guffaw: :guffaw: :guffaw: :oO: :hammer: :grin: :hi:

 JRFortson - 07/07/09, 19:05 reply
Hey brotha! well, I tried to take out of focus the areas beyond the face. It's a cool effect if you pull it off? I saw those 2...and are over the top, like all you do!!! :clap: :whip: :grin: :hi:

 shahin - 08/07/09, 05:57 reply
Yes, I agree with you. in second inspection I found the hat and collar of the coat a bit out of focus! But in the first look the face was so sharp and fascinating that I could not run off from its spell and look at the other parts precisely! :grin: :clap: :clap: :clap: :thumbup: :hi:

If you like, send me email to JRF777@gmail.com to hear more. For now, listen to his EP at www.myspace.com/andrewbelle from last year :grin: :hi: :blowkiss:

 ArCh_AnGeL - 07/07/09, 05:08 reply
Wow, I really like it! I cant stop listening to it! He has a unique voice. His style of music kind of reminds me of Jason Mraz in a way. I really like his other songs on his myspace too! He's great! Im deffinatly going to buy his new album! :grin: :clap: :blowkiss:

 ArCh_AnGeL - 07/07/09, 05:39 reply
Hmmmm, listening to all of his songs on his myspace, his style reminds me more of "The Fray", or "OneRepublic" than Jason Mraz. I thing just that one song on the 10outoftenn website reminded me a little of Jason Mraz. But wow, im really liking his songs A LOT! Im a fan! :D :grin: :clap: :blowkiss:

 JRFortson - 07/07/09, 16:08 reply
