Ed Sheeran didn't lie. He just said "I get that a lot" and smiled kindly. He's alone on the subway and afraid of getting mobbed so he gave the best answer he could which was sweet really.

Thank you for spreading love, positivity and kindness ❤!!! Devon and have that Jesus effect of spreading love and really seeing what is in people’s hearts 🥰

It's amazing how you tap into the desire for all of us 'just to be seen'. You bring countless moments of joy to each individual you draw and a multitude of smiles to those of us that watch the videos.

People keep to themselves on transit(for many understandable reasons)and it’s beautiful how his work suddenly makes a person light up with joy. What a wonderful gift you have.

Dear Devon, not only are you an amazingly gifted artist, but you are a truly kind soul. You make people happy, you find something positive to say to people about their appearance, total strangers, anywhere. And that is priceless, my friend. You spread joy throughout the world and make people smile. May God bless you abundantly for your gift to us.

I really admire how he manages to catch the special beauty of every person in his drawings.

I am a grown man and these videos make me teary eyed with emotion. Devon, the whole world needs you brother..you are a brilliant artist and human being.

Making people happy with your talent is so awesome. Not only talented but also polite and kind to people. The world needs more people like you.

I cried watching this (no sh*t). Your talent is next level!!! No posing, no interaction, just pure creativity at it's core. Total respect.

I have never seen anyone break through the “Subway Code of Silence” in such a beautiful way. You found something universal. The delight in all the different faces !

Just had 2 random Ed Sheeran NY videos pop up today. And they were probably filmed on the same day cuz it’s the same outfit. This one. And he visited a guy who apparently when viral singing his songs in the subway to give him free tickets. Both Ed and Devon are awesome. Just good people with amazing talent.

I love that each individual may have a different response but everyone understands and appreciates the artistry involved in what he's doing. Truly an amazing individual.

Such a lovely gesture to bring happiness to the NY passengers. Devon , your kindness is such a treat.

I love the way you let ed Sheeran be able to feel more comfortable by just saying “you look a lot like him” instead of immediately letting him Know you knew it was him. It might’ve been a relief to him to just have that small interaction than a huge fan one

Devon, you make these people so happy...and i get so happy seeing the connection this creates. It makes me see how beautiful people really are when they open their hearts to each other through acts of kindness.

incredible. Everyone likes being recognized. The one woman said it made her day and you could really tell it did. I imagine there often isn't much time to complete a portrait so you have to be quick which is even more amazing. What a wonderful way to share such a talent.

It’s beautiful how you’re going all around and not only putting a smile on many people’s faces, as well as sharing your talented gift and a compliment, too

Incredible that a stranger paints you in the subway but for the artist the best payment is the reaction of the people I think that is priceless 😊

I like the ones who get so excited they show it back to him, like he didn't just draw it. Also sweet are the ones who ask if they can keep it Great job spreading love, Devon

The emotion that fills the subway car is unbelievable. People ae incredibly thankful and moved.

Watching these never gets old! Not ever! I love how not only are you giving them a beautiful gift but the way you always compliment them too! So beautiful!

He brings so much light into people's lives; it's moving.

He met up with the subway singer Mike Yung as he was singing one of his songs in the same clothes he's wearing here. Not telling me those are just coincidences 😂

The smiles you put on peoples faces is beautiful. Your work is phenomenal ❤️

It was kinda fun how the initial reaction when Devon approached Theresa (Penn) was immediate dismissal before even hearing him out. Seemed so yucky but changed immediately when she saw the gift. A portrait of her. Devon is genuinely an amazing person.

I love 8:42 how he's like "Omg" & you can tell he's being polite (very nice), but then he notices how good the drawing really is "Wait, what??" & immediately begins to smile :)

What an effin hero, bringing joy to the world one surprised person at a time.

To have that kind of talent is amazing, to use that talent to make a total strangers day is the true gift. Well done Devon, it is a good thing you do.
