You got my vote ☑️

Devon's talent is immeasurable. I could watch him draw all day! I pray he truly gets rich and famous but remains humble and happy.

you pray he gets rich? That's the dumbest thing you could have written. Pray for him being happy, not his bank account. American logic at its finest again

Perhaps you should read my entire response. Also he wants to help other artists. That takes money no matter what country you are from.

He is a real artist, and he is so motivating and humble. He deserve the best!!

Shaking the lady's hand with paint and it didn't matter to him just shows how an down to earth person he is. Devon has a big heart😊

He captures the soul of the person he's painting, which moves the soul of the viewer. I'm fascinated by his videos because when he hands a person that kind of portrait their soul pops right out in response. That makes anyone even halfway paying attention feel more joyfully alive. And less alone because here is someone in the world who can really see what's important.

Devon is a force of nature... extremely talented artist... humble... caring... innovative... giving person. I thoroughly enjoy seeing the direction he is taking with his "Painting a stranger's portrait realistically while hearing their life story" videos. I consider Devon the BEST LIVING ARTIST of my lifetime... and I'm 68 years old! I wish 2024 will be an epic year for him!

I totally concur with the uplifting, positive appreciation that @mcrickard1 just posted: Devon is a positive force & Devon Rodriguez is my favorite artist of all time! (He’s earned every accolade!) I’m a caricature artist and am 73 years in age; because of Devon’s strong influence upon my life I’m now doing what Devon does: drawing live pics of strangers without them realizing I’m doing a “sneaky sketch” of them… The surprise & smiles on a stranger’s face, seeing their image makes my heart soar! AND bc of Devon, I’m changing my art style away from caricature to a blend between caricature & realism AND I ask my models, as Devon does, “what’s your biggest challenge” type of questions… I’ve discovered that many people have never been listened to by another soul who is interested in them… it is literally like mainlining to my heart! In my humble opinion, and as a professional caricaturist, I am thoroughly convinced Devon Rodriguez is the Modern day MASTER. Not to get too personal but I’m legally blind, have problematic depth perception struggles, but bc of Devon, I see that improvement in art is possible! May God bless Devon Rodriguez bc the world needs kind and positive role models that Devon Rodriguez certainly is!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

How much does he pay you for comments like this? I am very interested in joining please!!

I am so happy for you, Devon, AND for your grandma! after all the hardship and tragedies, the fact that both of you are still alive is kind of amazing..and the biggest reward is to see people looking at their own image, drawn by someone else, and seeing the vulnerability in their faces...just great.

Mr. Rodrigues, I believe you are absolutely flawless. Your art is just fantastical, amazing. I can’t think of the words I would like to use..lol. Just wow!

What Devon does is just beautiful. And we get to see him while he's creating his works. He let's people in to the window of his world. So lovely. Devon is more than Art, he is an experience.🏵️🌼🍂

Your art show crowd was a reflection of the joy that you inspire in others. Carry on! 💜💕

A very talented artist, your skills is just amazing. The portraits that you make after each and every encounter with random people seem so alive and realistic because you also get to see through them. And no reward is sweeter than getting to witness their priceless reactions. I envy your talent really. Congratulations Devon, you deserve all the recognition and praise!

This guy brings joy to everyone. Imagine the world if everyone was like him

Very generous of him to share his talent with the world. What an artist! Absolutely love his work.!!😊👍

You are right

Extreme talent in this young man. Hope that he continues to do well.

I’m sure there are other painters as skilled at photo-realism. But Devon’s attitude and interaction with his subjects; his subject matter; the immediate results of his drawings; and all the smiles and tears of joy he elicits make him truly unique. And a huge respite from our stresses. Thank you, Devon!

Congratulations, Devon. Your works of art what a amazing thing especially when your art is drawn on the train. I've seen many of your drawings of random people on the train, when you're done and you hand it them the expression on they're face can't be replaced. Am from NYC too, hoping I get a chance to meet you. This is a perfect example of, it's your season for a reason. Last but not least, Happy New Year, and many blessings to you, keep doing whatcha do.❤️❤️🎨🎨🎨🖌️🖌️🖌️🖍️🖍️🖍️ NYC, we love you Devon, keep growing strong.😉😉😉

God continues to bless your hands, Devon. You are a humble person, not only gifted. Never forget that. Keep following your heart. Thank you, Abuela for your 💗 and support❣️ 🙏

What a great & talented young man. In the words of one of my favorite blues musicians (Buddy Guy) "Don't hold anything back just let it go". FLY NAVY!!!

I love this Channel 💞 Thanks for uploading 👍 Greetings from Ireland 🎉

Finally, the recognition you deserve. Bravo! 👏✌️😁

❤ Gratulacje ❤ Jesteś wielkim Artystą, o ogromnym sercu. Pozdrawiam serdecznie z Polski.😊

Congratulations Devon, your story is so inspiring. You deserve every single moment of this success! 🌸💖🌸

Congratulations on your exhibition, you are an extraordinary talent. You are humble and kind, and bring so much joy to your subjects.....much respect.

You are amazingly artistic 🌟⭐️✨💛🧡💙💚

Every painting is stunning - thank you for sharing your gift!

So happy to see such a humble, kind and dedicated young man be recognised for his talent and passion. Well done Devon 👏 from an Australian fan, we hope you bring your exhibition down under too 🦘🙌🎨

Gracias por tu arte!!! Eres un orgullo y ejemplo a seguir!!! 🇵🇷😃👍🇵🇷

I was putting in one of his comments that it's time to open up an Art show. Dude is just too good. His Art is awesome AF. Support Real Artist. 💯💯💯💯

Love your work Devon from Jamaica🇯🇲🇯🇲

I so appreciate Devon and his art. Congratulations and more power!

Congrats to you Devon!!! I've watched so many of your videos and was always impressed at your creative talent. I am so happy that you are getting all of the praise and exposure!!! Keep up the amazing work!!!

You are so amazing artist bro ✌️ grettings from poland 💪

You have such a kind touch to your art. The way you capture someone’s likeness through the eyes of someone who cares for the subject and only sees them as the work of art that they are, is inspiring. Continued success to you ❤

Kewl beans Dman! To watch you grow as a person, an 🎨 artist is amazing, Thank you for window into your world.

You are simple and simply amazing!!!! Stay like this please! don’t change ever and if you change change for the better. Just love love your craftsmanship❤

Well deserved! Congratulations Devon! 🎉🖼🧑‍🎨

Devon, your art is surreal, organic and amazing. I am so very proud of you especially being Puerto Rican like myself to see you succeed in the world of art you love so much. Keep flourishing in your career and never let anyone stop you from being yourself. Being a grandma myself I know you make your grandma proud. Looking forward to seeing you in my hood of Maryland and having you draw me (you never know) You are awesome 🤩

This man deserves all the LOVE!!❤❤❤❤ THANK YOU TO ALL THE REAL ARTISTS!!! NO MATTER WHAT YOUR ART MAY BE!!

Congratulations Devon on your exhibit, well deserved! Love the authentic connections you have when you are painting, showing authentic conversations can still occur face to face with strangers!

Congratulations on your first exhibition. We all love to ‘people watch ‘ but you’ve taken it to such a different level and have found something to call your own . What a genius idea .It is so unique to do such incredible drawings in such a short space of time . I often wondered what happens if they get off before you finish but of course the mystery of filming and I work in the industry but you have done the videos so well I forgot with there is a camera person filming so of course your subject is aware . It still doesn’t take away the amazed reactions and excitement when they see your finished piece . Again congratulations . Here’s hoping 2024 is going to be your year . ❤

This is how an influencer is supposed to act. Humble! Not, do you know who I am? I have 100K followers. and you must roll out the red carpet. I normally unsub when a channel reaches a 1mil, because that influencer develops a huge ego, like SS Sniperwolf. I subscribed to her channel when she only had 1K and now she's a very bad person. Devon on the other hand keeps bringing joy to the people around him and shares his gifts with open arms!

DEVON YOU ARE MAGNIFICENT!!!! You DESERVE THIS with your BEAUTIFUL GIFT that you've chosen to SHARE WITH THE WORLD! XOXO FROM CHICAGO ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Amazing art from Devon 😊❤

¡Enhorabuena Devon! Your art is loved by so many and inspires people! A ver si puedo ir a los Estados Unidos un dia para ver su arte 😊

Love it! Seeing more representation in the art world is very inspiring! Keep doing your thing and big congratulations!

I wish I could have been there! You are so talented and kind. Your art is amazing--so much "feels" and reals. Keep up the good work and being the humble, kind person you are. ❤

Great Job Devon. Cheers from Lisbon Portugal. Well done my friend. Well done.

He is definitely gifted to be able to capture such realistic images of people.

I LOVE Devon. As a Latino myself, he makes me proud to share some of his background with him. 🎉

Devon you are so brilliant. What a talent. God bless the hands that can produce this art work. Love watching you on KZread

Every time I see one of Devons' vids my face breaks into a big grin. Congratulations on your first exhibition and it is all down to you, no silver spoon in your mouth. He also comes over as a really gentle and nice man.

Talent is one thing, but your humbleness and attributes have inspired millions of souls over the globe....and i am proud to be one. Thank you, Devon, for your great work in arts and for spreading peace, kindness, and compassion throughout the globe. ❤

You really deserve all the attention and success. You are very talented and very humble. Rare combination for such a good artist!

His style, his smile, his love for people...is truly amazing....

Congratulations Devon. You're an amazing artist. I'm so happy for you and your success. Keep going brother!

This guy deserves all his success and more loved his channels ❤❤

All your paintings are truly amazing Devon! Keep it up!

This guy is just an amazing human being that deserves every bit of his recognition. The way he manages to grab what matters in a person and make it "real" in every single one of his drawings is unforgettable. Congrats man. Keep at it. We wanna see more. Much more.

He embodies the concept that life is art....and the world responds😊❤

Devon is one of a kind. Vastly talented & down to earth. Looking fwd to seeing more of his work!

From the first time I saw you on KZread I fell in love with your work. Amazing, talented and down to earth. I just can't get enough!!!

You know, you have made it when it’s hard to tell the difference between a photograph and your artwork! I heard someone say there are three kinds of art, boring art or what some people call bad art, interesting art which is what I think a lot of people fall under, And art that is life-changing! And you, sir, have made it there!

Such a great artist and a really good guy. His constant smile, how he treats EVERYBODY and the joy he finds and creates is just mind blowing. He’s a powerhouse.
