    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.

      @@linas-oh3kq Huh? Jealous of what? His "skill" is mediocre at best. Anyone in art school can pump out portraits like that. What enrichment do you see? The people in the video are in on it. His talent lies in marketing, because that's all he's doing.

    Been following Devon Rodriguez for a while, and am a huge fan of his talent and the way he shares it. Occasionally I wonder...
    1) How long does the average portrait take to draw?
    2) How often does the subject get to their stop (if on the subway for example) before the portait can be completed?
    3) What will an original, social media documented, Devon Rodriguez signed portrait be worth some day?
    4) Has anyone ever not appreciated this gift?
