Sooo happy Devon is receiving the recognition he deserves!! He is an amazing artist!

I have never been on tic toc, but Devon is all over KZread shorts, and I catch myself watching his “shorts” over and over, as they are so amazing and so touching to see! You can just see how Devon loves to make other people happy! He is a kind, sweet, beautiful soul!🌟

Love your work, greeting from Australia

"Even thought we had no money, the love we had solved a lot of issues." I love that. This story is amazing. I was also raised by grandparents.

Devon Rodriguez is the NEW Norman Rockwell. Sketching, painting normal everyday people along their life's journey. ❤ Incredibly Amazing Work!! Thankyou for sharing your gift with US and the World.

Well said! I agree. Im 61 and feel like a proud Mom. I pray he carries on sharing his gift....every drawing = millions of smiles. 😊

Devon, as a much older person (you could be my son), I want to say how proud I am of you! You’ve chosen to be a positive influence to many which takes courage and love, thanks to your abuela and your saving grace, art. Much continued success to you. You will soar high! Sky is the limit!

He is incredible! I had no idea about his upbringing until this video. He is so strong, resilient, kind and so talented!! ❤ So happy for you Devon!! You definitely deserve everything!

What a beautiful beautiful, caring, loving grandma. What a true angel she is. I can see that they are very close.

I love this story. What an awesome grandmother. May all of her days be filled with peace and happiness.

Thankyou Devon for bringing light into people's lives. And thanks to your grandma too for being there for you, brother.😊

It's my first time hearing about you and seeing your work. Congratulations on your success!!! Life can make you feel like your life isn't valuable. I'm grateful to God that your circumstances didn't deter your purpose, as you shine as an example of what is possible. What an amazing Grandmother you have- just beautiful! All the best to both of you.❤🙏🏽

I am a huge fan of this talented young man. He shows people how beautiful they are. He can do that because of his great artistic talent and his heart. Devon is a treasure.

I first noticed Devon's art work watching UTube & was amazed at how quickly he drew people on the subway & with such perfection. He has a God given talent & brightened the lives of so many average souls worldwide.

how much did you get paid to comment? I only made a small amount!!

Amazing talent. I'm just so in awe. My 8 year old daughter loves to watch his art. She says mommy can I be as good as him someday? I tell her yes you can practice and work hard and you will get there. ❤ You have inspired another young one. ❤

OMG I'm crying here, really! You guys are blessings to each other and to us all!! Thank you and God Bless You and Your Gourgeous Abuela, Devon!!

Me too I’m crying ❤

I have been watching him from day one…..what a doll he is…….such a caring loving person!

His beautiful work overwhelms me. What an amazingly gifted & humble artist. Forever a fan. 👏👏👏👏‼️

An amazing and talented artist but , more than that, Devon is an exceptional young man. I wish him nothing but success in all his future endeavors. God be with you Devon.

Mad Love and Respect for You DEVON✊🏽💜

I follow Devon on KZread and I have always wondered about his life. It saddens me that he started his life with abuse and neglect. I am so grateful that his grandmother stepped in and showed him love and supported him. Throughout he has remained a kind, creative and beautiful soul. Continued success to you and your "abuela"!

“Spreading love one drawing at a time.” What a testimony! You will surely hear “Well done my good and faithful servant.” when you meet your maker. I’m so proud of you!

Devon presents the best picture of every person he draws and paints. From his hands, they became so beautiful. Wow! 🥰

Props to your lovely Abuela 💜💜 You deserve the world, Devon!

Love Devon's work!! It's wonderful when an artist sees ordinary everyday people as a work of art. It's wonderful to be seen.

So inspiring. Thank you Devon, and your grandmother. ❤

So uplifting! Love to grandma!

My father, too, was an artist. But his fav medium was pottery! He was head is the Secondary Art Dept. in our school system for over 30 yrs. If he were alive he would have wanted to go see your exhibition himself! What a God given gift you have and you are using it to the fullest! God Bless you Devon…..keep on drawing and painting!❤✏️🎨🖌️❤️

This gives me faith in humanity. Not only is he a wonderful and talented young man, but his Grandmother is the hero. Lots of hugs and love and keep up the art!! 🥰🥰

Each time I watch Devon's videos, I see the sadness in his eyes and just feel like giving him a big hug and telling him that everything is going to be alright. So Devon, here's a BIG virtual hug all the way from South Africa 🤗 May all be good and all your wishes, hopes and dreams come true and may God grant you everything great in this life that you've been denied. God bless you abundantly ALWAYS 🙏

He is incredible! I love to see his drawings and paintings. Don't know how he does it so quickly.

I love following Devon! He is an inspiration & he touches people’s hearts with his art.

Congratulations 🎊 🎉Devon on your 1st exhibit ! You are ❤truly a gifted creative compassionate artist 🎨 We all love your art 🎨 💜 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Devon, your heart is beautiful! You’re inspirational. I hope your life is as bright as your art forever ❤

Devon is an incredible artist. He blows me away. And what a heart. I wish him nothing but the best!

Am o admiratie infinită fata de talentul si OMUL DEVON RODRIGUEZ!. DUMNEZEU a fost/este extrem de generos din toate punctele de vedere: talent, suflet aspect!..Pentru ochii si sufletul meu,o reala încântare!BINECUVANTARI LA TOT PASUL!

Devon, always humble, and his grandma the real hero in his life, proud of these two puertoricans!

So happy for all your success. You are insanely talented but your best gift is the smile you bring out in the people you surprise with your art. You are proof that good guys do finish first. Big hug to your abuela. Orgullo Boricua!!! Dios te bendiga.

What a wonderful heartwarming story. My 20 year old grandson is an artist too, it was his life, he drew on the way to school, at school, every afternoon into the evening, then he just sort of stopped. Thankfully his Mom told me he’s starting to draw again.

I first found you on KZread several weeks ago. You have a big shining light, and your Grandma and your art teacher BELIEVED in you. Props for your success thus far. We believe! 🌹

Lots of greetings from Belgium !! You’re an inspiration for so many people. And waaaaaw, what a talent !!!! I wish you all the success in the world. You deserve this.

INSPIRING STORY. God gave each of us a special talent to lift up our self esteem esp. if we are down. He used his God given talent , helping others change their emotions such us if sad he can make them happy. His extraordinary talent is an example of stewardship. Congratulations Devon..keep the world smiling!🥰🥰🥰 and spread your happy heart!❤

Thank you Devon! I love watching the videos of you surprising random people with your artwork. You are a beautiful soul. Congratulations on your art show! Also congratulations to your abuela! She has every reason to be so proud of you. I wish you all the best.

It’s about time 👏 He’s an amazing talent!!!

I paint and am relearning to draw. It’s not easy! Devon makes it look so easy. I think no matter how much his art is appreciated; it’s under appreciated.

Devon, you're one hell of an artist, and a wonderful human being too! You deserve all of the good things that come your way. 🤗

Congrats Devon!!! No limits! You are amazing!

Leaving a dark place is so discouraging, because you feel that you will never leave that place or a way out. His guiding light was there to get him out. His extremely talented, God bless him ❤ may he succeed, and help those that also need that guiding light 💡 so happy for him ❤

So talented❤️story brought me to tears & a smile. I wish him all the best❤️

What an incredibly loving story! I am amazed by not only his talent but his amazing heart ❤️❤️ He is choosing to see the best in every person around him… I honestly do not have the words to explain that makes me feel because it’s a feeling of everything all at the same time.

So much love coming from his grandmother its good to see someone who has overcome so much hurt and grief become such a kind person😄👍

Devon God had a reason for you on this Earth, he has blessed you with this talent and your Grandmother showed you God's love so you could spread that love to every person you meet by your talent. The world needs more people like you. GOD be with you wherever you go 🙏 ❤

Congrats Devon. Hope the exhibit goes well for you.

Super grandma, God bless! Devon you are super talented, wish you the best!

I am absolute amazement with his talent. The emotional value in each drawings and paintings serves an excellent person he is. I am rooting for this guy to be a person of the year in Time Magazine.

Devon Rodriguez est vraiment formidable !!! 💜 Il a un regard particulier sur les personnes qu'il choisit de dessiner ou peindre... C'est ce qui rend son art singulier : je l'adore !!! 💙🤍❤ Bisous de France... Albane 💋

In life there are times you think this person really deserves every break and success they get. Those sort of people that dedicate everything to their passion and doing something they love. Some make it. Regrettably, not all of them do make it. This is one guy that truly deserves everything. Such a horrible past and a lovely grand mother that supported him at such as early age made him blossom into one of the most talented artists of today. His work is absolutely mind blowing. Moreover, he changes lives. He doesn’t just do it because he loves what he does. He does it to see their reaction. That’s an incredible feeling and so rewarding. Life changing in fact and you can see it has changed his life. The money is just a bonus. I’m so happy to see such a lovely person rewarded in this awful world of seeing horrible people often making it. Particularly those in positions of power. Forget those crap artists like Bansky. That’s easy art that’s anyone can duplicate.

Devon, you are amazing. Your Abuelita is so sweet, God always bless and keep her safe. And you too, Devon.. Dios te de muchas bendiciones.

You deserve it! All the recognition, support, and love you received, you have given back to the community in spades. ❤👏😍

Oh my goodness,I love this young man,his talent is incredible,i had no idea that he had come from such an abusive and tragic background,his grandmother is an inspiration to and of this man is as well .

Every time one if your vids comes up I watch. I love the love people give back to you when they see your work. This story brought tears to my eyes. I’m so happy for your success and amazed by your talent.

Your gift is amazing, love that you found your passion and the positive impact it has on others. Bravo young man!

Love this guy and his art/kindness ♥️

I would love to see his art in person. He needs a traveling art show!

I'm assuming Devon has painted his Grandmother? What a really lovely lady. So moved by her handing out card encouraging people to see his artwork. Such a lovely thing to do.

I have loved this guy since the first time I saw him drawing. I'm a Fine Arts dropout (ran out of money) so I understand how rare this degree of expertise in photorealism is. And when you factor in how quickly he does it . . . 😲 Watching the happiness of people receiving their drawings is the icing on the cake. 🍰

Congratulations Devon, love all your drawing.

Been watching for some time now. So happy that you are getting the recognition that you deserve. And how you didn’t let your past define you. So much talent. It’s amazing.

Bravo Devon you turned chaos and pain into a hopeful beautiful art. God Bless you always.

You are Blessed in many ways, your Grandmother’s love and your talent as well as your kindness to others. Thank you for sharing.❤

God bless yOu more.. you know how to give joy deep within each people you drew..😊❤

That's one proud grandma. 😊 Thank you for sharing your story Devon. You are well on your way to finding your "Happily Ever After" Much 💜 to you & your grandma 💜💜

The portraits themselves are unlike any detailed portraits I’ve ever seen……done in so little time while the train is moving! The reactions of the people drawn are magnificent.

I'm so happy for him. I follow his channel. Thank you for sharing this video with us. 👍🇨🇦😊

God Bless your Grandmother. She was your angel

God bless YOU & your Grandmother~ as a mother of four adult children i am so very proud of you! Literally crying, overwhelmed with love & JOY for you & yours. BRAVO!! TY xo

"An Angel In Disguise"!!! His Gift Makes Everyones' Heart Smile Including His Own!!! God Continue Blessing You As You Bless Strangers Each and Every Time You Touch Someone's Day!!!❤️🙏🏻✏️✍🏼🖌️🎨

I love his work! And he looks like such a humble young man. God bless you and your abuela!

Your grandmother reminds my grandmother.❤❤❤❤ Love your tenacity, your simplicity and your smile. Keep it always with you.

Love this. I started watching your post years ago and shared them with others because your work was so amazing and the reactions always made me smile from ear to ear. BRAVO to you!

I've been watching your videos for awhile now on KZread but never knew anything about you. I thank your Abel and you from the bottom of my heart. The world is blessed to have you both

A true beacon of light, thank you for your warmth and your astonishing discernment in your craft!❤❤❤

Through every storm the sun comes shining through. God Bless You brother. I know you will take care of Abuela.

Thank you for showcasing this brilliant young man. Devon has enlightened so many everyday people and brightened their lives with his talent and love. Amazing!

I like to see your parents what they think that they let you down. And you still made a great future for you and your grandma

He’s an amazing young man who deserves life’s applause. His heart is full of love and thanks to his grandma his life is also.

I am so happy to hear of your success! I love seeing what you do every day! Knowing how your grandmother raised you up and how you love her makes me appreciate your talent even more! I am pestering my former students for photos of their kids so I can paint them. I have painted my poor grandchildren to death! I just love what you do!

I'm so proud Devon and I love your story of perseverance may you continue with your deserved success!!! Peace and continued blessings for you & your family I love your drawing so much they always bring me joy & happiness 😊

Devon you've got my support and love. Thanks for changing lives.

He is amazing❤ love his work and humility ❤
