I love Devon's laughs. It is so unpretentious and contagious. Every time it makes me smile.

God has given Devon a creative talent that is reality to the core. Amazing.

Great artist and positive energy God bless you

Devon is so amazing! So Genuine, and natural...Love that Laugh !😃

I was VERY MOVED by this interview. The relationship between these two is epic! His authenticity and her curiosity just flows. What an amazing "Hero's Journey"❤

So happy and impressed by this young artist. All the best for you Devon!❤

Congratulations for all the passion, gift, and talent as an artist. Your giggles and laughs are genuine. You have shown humanity despite the odds you have endured, and the reward is colossal. You captured the faces of everyday people. May you remain humble even if you're now at the peak of your career, Thanks to your mentor and teacher who guided you and all the endeavor he did for you. God bless!

hear! hear!

Outstanding interview! Devon is a force of nature... sincere, modest, uber-talented, & caring! I really like how he has expanded his reach to other countries... and has most recently began "drawing/painting while interviewing" subjects.... strangers he meet on the streets. I also enjoyed his interview with Katie Couric.... where he sketched her portrait while being interview4ed. I wish more people were like Devon... the world would be a better place. And finally... this interview was FANTASTIC! BZ

Hear, hear! I wish him all the best in life!

What a great interview. I guess you could say I'm a 77-year-old fan, who lives in Oaxaca, Mexico. I've heard his story several times, & I must add, he has a wonderful grandmother.

The Best Laugh!!! The Best most Ever Evolving Artist!!! Devon..you are a Gift!!! Thank you for sharing yourself with us!!! I can't wait to see how you continue to create!!! xo

Yep, an art teacher, I had in high school (Mrs Prince), saw my drawings and sort of, took me under her wing. She even taught me after school. She introduced me to many new mediums and taught me a wide variety of art techniques. If is wasn't her intervention, I highly doubt I would have continued to create art. That all happened, over 50 years ago. I am now 71 and I am now, an award winning artist. Thank you Mrs Prince - may you rest in peace. 🎨

I love Devon and kim . One from humble beginning with a lifetime dream and a director of museums of art, yet find a beautiful medium and share admiration for each other.

Hi from Finland. I feel a glow of love- a softness in my heart from the portraits you take of people. Thank you.

I love their relationship. 2 different worlds, yet I can see the appreciation, respect and love for each other. I love them together. THEY SHOULD HAVE AN ART SHOW SERIES TOGETHER…like the Snoop and Martha. Éxito.

God blessed Devon just like He blessed the children currently dying of leukemia and brain cancer-take your *Sky Daddy* bullshit and try and sell it in the real world not just on the back of success, feel-good stories.

Talentoso, simpático, con una risa divertida, felicidades Devon eres un genio del dibujo❤

What a awesome interview,,,,,so hilarious but so at the same time right to point,, loved it ,artistry just took place lol, God bless both of you,,,Zoe

Thank God for Devon's Grandma!!❤

Admire his talent and how he has nurtured his great gifts!!

Oh my I love this interview with Devon ❤❤❤❤ Just an amazing talent and such a sweet soul. Thank you for this ❤

I love how some people react to receiving an unexpected gift and they are so touched and uplifted. The portraits themselves bring out the best most beautiful nature in people. So gifted to be able to do that. My dad was an artist who had such difficulty getting along in this world. He did scratchcard animals who were beautifully and realistically expressive. After his death I was tasked with distributing his artwork and saw a side of him I never knew and who he wanted to be. The family members all chose their favorite pieces and beyond that the best of what was left was donated to an art gallery with deep pockets and an extensive audience of patrons. The proceeds from his work has gone to youth art programs and I think he would have liked that.

Your work is truly inspiring. Talented, humble, blessed, kind spirit. DEVON YOU ARE AMAZING🫶Thank You for blessing Us through Your eyes.

This is a significant and poignant interview with Ms. SAJET who undoubtedly is an esteemed member of the art world. I appreciated the interview as she brought all of the elements of Devon's art and the world he re-introduced, the Portrait and she established the greater meaning behind his work. Creating a mechanism for connection between strangers perhaps revealing to one another that beyond the physicalities we can and may share common interest. He breaks down the fear of knowing someone else. Loved this interview and how she made him shine even more so...Devon's paint and strokes transcend beyond the palette. He is not only mixing colors, he's redefining what it means to be part of life's mosaic. Best wishes for the two. Life is an art form.

Devon's heart and compassion are incredible. He is more than an artist - he uses his art to make people feel seen and worthy.

So glad Devon is doing well, and has a great following 🎉

Wow, that was intense! Hats off to Devon for his kindness through it all...in life in general... and the interview. 🕊

Congratulations Devon! SO proud of you!

You know you’ve been given a gift when you are this good and are self taught! I love that you are doing humble and appreciative of your huge success. Much love. (BTW I love when you wear your Puerto Rico hat or baseball shirt. 🇵🇷👍🏼)

I don't know why i cried through this but I'm so happy for you!

One of the best artists interviews ever… so funny😂 What an amazing life, just WOW! Would love to do a live portrait class with him, so awesome!

Proud of you bro 🙌👏

Those giggles drives me nuts!

Congratulations 🎊 to Devon on all his successes! He is a brilliant, creative, talented artist 🎨 We all love ❤️ his work! His clever kind approach to sharing his art 🎉with the world 🌎 is appreciated by all of us ! Bless you 🙏 ♥️ Devon

Longtime art model here and massive respect for Devon and Kim. Their chemistry is the Snoop & Martha of the art world. And his colorful laugh is a masterpiece !

Knowing his background, the difficult childhood he had but he remained a straight kid and didn't ruin himself but channel his focus to learning portraiture and art. Happy for his achievements and hope for more success and happiness!

Your lovely giggle and the positivity shines through the screen it is such a force!! Devon,may you continue to spread joy on this planet. ❤❤❤

As Rush always said, this young man has "talent on loan from GOD!" Truly blessed.

And...Devon is using 'that talent' very wisely...just saying that many people with talent get so self absorbed. Devon keeps it real!

I absolutely love this interview. So pure. Thanks Devon. You are an inspiration, duh!

Love the truth and history Devon shared in this interview. How much fun watching this was...my office is calling😅😅😅

Love this! THANK YOU for spreading so much joy!!❤❤❤

this is so exciting to watch this part of your life. I am thrilled to see your growth and how much you have accomplished. Thank you for the work you do, you are truly a blessing.

I have been watching him on tik tok and I am glad I got to watch this interview. He is so humble about his success, I respect him for who he is and as an artist. He is an inspiration to many young people that to be successful you have to pursue your passion and work hard on it. Hard work pays dividends oftentimes. Congratulations Devon. Keep up the good work and stay humble.

Devon is so humble!! Keep up the Good work! Your future is bright 🙏🙏🙏

Tienes un don especial en el dibujo , que Dios te siga bendiciendo

Congratulations Devon 🎉❤🇵🇷👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽you are a great artist Bendiciones y mucho éxito

What a talented young man!!!!!!!

What an inspiring talented young man…… I'm a 70 plus person and he has inspired me to start drawing portraits. I started a portrait class online at the beginning of the pandemic but quit after awhile... though I will never be as good as Devon, but I will give it a try. I love seeing his instagram posts. Thank you for sharing this great interview!

So proud bro! God bless.

Your awesome and amazing, your talent is wonderful continue to be you and humble and God bless you.

Excellent interview!!!😊🎉❤

Devon is not only an amazing artists, he is a good human being!❤

I LOVE this wonderful young artist!!!♥️

muito lindo!!! Cinema ! 😅❤🇧🇷

Прими мои комплименты, друг из Америки! Я русская...Твой талант достоин восхищения, а то что ты даришь людям свое внимание и кусочек своей души в своем творчестве - это безподобно! Искренняя радость случайных людей получающих от тебя кусочек счастья трогает до слез!....Спасибо тебе и дай Бог тебе спасения души в Боге! P.S. Мой папа был художником и передал мне часть своего дара тоже...

A once in a millennial artist 🎉 ❤ May he have a long life to accomplish many more milestones!

The quality of gift that keeps on giving. Whoever that person was that wholesomely took the time to teach him portraits, without a doubt brought good tidings his way! So many people come and go (whether they're present for 5 minutes 30 days or 3 years) .....one thing for sure, it doesn't take 30 or 50 years for you to realize exactly what quality of tidings that they bring.

Excelente Reportaje! 👍

Awesome interview. I love Devon but being from SouthTexas I truly doubt I will ever meet him but I totally love him.

Congratulations Devon, you're amazing person...stay humble. ❤

Kim Sajet is a gem of an interviewer. Great content. Will definitely find her channels.

Devon me recuerdas a mi amigo Arturo y te admiro mucho soy artista y quiero estrechar tu mano.👍🙏

That was a great interview!❤

We love you Devon !keep up the good work .

I love your portrait. It feels you are running deep in the life of those person who you portrait. You give them hope when they seem to be down. Your portrait heal in some ways. You bring life to those people you portrait. Follow your path you are a great artist.

DEVON.....YOU HAVE NO ACCENT, WE ALL UNDERSTAND YOU WELL....LOVE YOU AND YOUR WORK!!! GOD BLESS YOU....HAPPY HOLIDAYS!! 🫂 HUGS....

Your the most Awsome Artist the best. Thank you for your video's

Unique & brilliant how his natural drives and surprising talent has opened up art appreciation to millions! Accurate portaiture is the attraction moving people away from conceptual installations back to perceptual representations 🎉❤🎉😊

Such an amazing talent!

We love you Devon, you're a great artist.🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

Wish you! Tosee in 🇵🇭 in Puerto Galera Mdo.Wanted to meet you 👍fhank you God bless🙏 Devon

"Your talent is God gift to you, what you do with it is your gift back to HIM "..(l.b). Keep sharing and utilizing it. You always make a difference. We are so proud of what you do to humanity. Keep the world moving ! You are an asset. God loves you😇❤🙏☝

Great work Devon.

His laugh is so cute. I hope he comes to Philly.

I'm from South Africa but I know your name because I really love what you're doing Devon Rodriguez and I will show up on your event when you're here in South Africa and a big shoutout to James for giving you a chance ❤

Esteban Alvarez , ThanksMuch!

His laughter is so sweet 😊

"Why would you do that?" I heard it as a translation problem. We might say "I can't believe you would do this for a stranger! Why would you do this for me?!" Like being blown away.🤷 I follow a German artist that makes every one of her videos twice...one in German and one in English....and she often struggles with finding the English word for something she said in German....and sometimes she uses an English word that sounds offensive in English...and feels so bad about that...just like you felt when Kim told you what she thought you meant with your comment about the number of followers she had. This German gals is the most loving & tender-hearted person! Like YOU!❤ Continued success! Have a fantastic 2024! And heartfelt gratitude & positive energy to your grandmother!! SHE is the co-creator of the life you are living and the blessings you are bringing to the world!!!❤ At the risk of offending others (but I don't care...I'm not long for this world 🤭), I think this is what the old saying, "Behind every great man is a great woman" means. I'm not saying women BELONG behind men! It's more about how men that were not mothered well will have a wound only a woman can heal. You are who you are, in great part, because she made you breakfast. 😉 Btw...love your sense of humor and your laugh!

Also, I wish Ms. Sajet would’ve talked more about the selection process for the National Portrait Gallery and what Devon’s future prospects are for painting a portrait for The National Gallery.

Love Devon Rodriguez. ❤Blessing

Great Artist, Great Interviewer!

Congratulations Devon! Good to hear from you, not where you learned, I don't think that's important, but why you do what you do. And why drawing or painting, but why portraits and why people on the subway (which is different from people in the park...) I wish the interview talked more about that. Not the technique, not the fame, but the humanity of the art.

This is the first time I have ever seen Kim Sajet do an interview, she is fantastic.

His laugh is sooo infectious. At first I thought it was strange but soon couldn't stop smiling.

I wish you the best, you are amazing artist

God Bless You, Devon!!! 🇵🇷🇺🇸

Yeah, it must feel great to sell your *Sky Daddy* nonsense on the back of a caring, successful person like Devon rather than on the excruciating pain of a child who will die of bone cancer before the end of today.

love this guy

He's is the most amazing artist I have ever seen in my whole life. He's young and so motivated after all the trauma he's been thru. 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷's Seem to be the most artistic in art

Congratulations brother, you are very talented 👏.

I love his laugh & his humility!

Devon is actually an inspiring for artists

Damn talking to the Smithsonians director great, Devon is gonna be a multimillionaire his paintings are awesome. Great to see a New Yorker make it to the top. Man I come from the South Bronx grew up in the 70's, back then we never had any opportunities, only education which i grabbed, finished H.S. joined the Army, spent 20 years as an Infantryman/paratrooper/Ranger, now I'm retired 100% disabeled veteran god bless the USA.

👍👍👍 very talented person . keep up your good work .

I think Devon realizes we are more alike than different!

So humble, we’ll deserved, Never give up on what you love. ❤

his laugh is very cute. amazing story, great artist, he is inspiring

Now that i live closer to NY i cant wait to see this guy just doing his thing. As an artist this is the type of dude that inspires me.
