In the art scene, realness and accountability are the deal-breakers. It's all about keeping the integrity of our craft tight. So, let's stand up for the standards, bigging up the artists who grind hard and put their heart and soul into what they create. Now, if there's some real talk about an issue, we gotta address it straight up. No beating around the bush. Shine a light on what needs fixing through the right channels. It's about keeping our creative game real, respecting the hustle of those who grind for their art. We're rolling together, making sure our scene stays true to the core, even when we gotta sort out some issues on the way.

I cried the entire time watching this!! So well-deserved!! I have been following him from the beginning. ❤

I love seeing artists appreciated!!!

High Respect!

Such a talented beautiful man

Just a lovely story. Talented,humble and just so down to earth. I'm sure his grandma is so proud. His paintings are so life like. I love the contrast of the gritty subway,every day hard working people doing their daily routine and having it appreciated and purchased by the elite. Some of which may have never been in the subway.Continued success Devon. You have brightened up many a dull subway ride for so many.

I think he is truly gifted. He brings smiles to everyday people. His gallery opening, phenomenal because it brought in real people not just the privileged. Amazing! He deserves happiness for sharing his talent.❤ Stay humble...😊

This is the kind of story we need right now!

I love his smile

Very inspiring

Not only is his art detailed and realistic, it captures something of the people he paints, something more than how they look. There is soul in his art.

Well done bro...Adding joy to humanity 👌🏽

Wow, exhibit is in September. That gallery must be fully booked all the time.

Way to go for that guy.

He’s very good at ppl 👏💯‼️

I wouldn't be surprised if we saw his work in the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery one day.

This guy is very good, and deserve all the media coverage and accolades he is getting. Keep up the great work.

I admire his work, and he is really talented. However, he needs to be able to take criticism and understand not everyone will like his work. He really had no need to send his followers and throw hate on an art critic who did not write a favourable review last year.

He’s super talented

I absolutely love Devon. He did go to a fine art school and has a classical education, though. So when he was drawing people on the subway at 15, that was an assignment. There's something reminiscent of the Candyman remake with his team and the reporting that they want to portray him as some poor kid from broken Brooklyn home that just started drawing people one day, and I don't think that's positive for people who look up to him.

EXCELLENT!

When an art critic critique his work, and he didn't like what critique, he went psycho mode on Instagram posting the guy's name and what he said and all of his rabid followers started cyber bullying the guy.

So happy for him. And thankfully we are able to see his talents thanks to his uploads

He’s very inspiring!

I’ve seen his drawings that he has done on the subway. He is amazing. His paintings are even more magical.

I've enjoyed watching his videos but I have to be honest that it looks too staged. How can he spend upwards of twenty minutes drawing the person who isn't aware of it? There had to be a few who might've objected to him drawing them. And the train is never crowded. If that was me I would've noticed someone sitting directly across from me drawing my image. But congrats to his budding career.

I love it! So talented.
