I cried the entire time watching this!! So well-deserved!! I have been following him from the beginning. ❤
Do you wanna cry look at some of Frank Frazetta’s work he probably never even heard of him
You DO realize than more than HALF of the "surprise" drawings on the subway are other TH-camrs and TikToker's and it's fake, right?
Im not gonna stop till this fraud is exposed. They keep saying im jealous i am.. of alex ross and 42nd st nyc Skechers because they are honest and talented not fakes. every dollar he makes is money our of honest workers...that made me cry.....AND THATS REAL! @@Mr.Q-Tip
This is a fake comment dude probably has family members make pages to comment under videos
@@dayquanmelon Get a Life! Or get loss!
High Respect!
It must be a thrill to his heart to see the talent of his dad, as well, and bittersweet that he was his dad's last canvas. I wish him MUCH more success. Bravo, Devon!👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽🌹
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.

Devon definitely deserves this recognition. He’s a truly outstanding artist!
I've met and hung out with Sir Richard Stone, the official portrait painter to the Royal family of England. And seen many of his pieces in person. This man's work is easily on par.
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 👌🏽
I have traversed the subway countless times, daydreaming of stumbling upon him. I am overjoyed that he has now been discovered and embraced by fame and glory.
You’re not famous and his videos are staged
CHEERS to folks like Devon who DISPLAY AND ARTICULATE how CONNECTED WE ALL TRULY ARE❣️ Keep on Rockin❣️
I have been following for a while. He brings happiness to everyone who he draws the pictures n viewers. He deserves all the success. 🎉🎉❤❤
Devon is fine 😍….been watching his stuff on Social for the longest. So happy for him!! Can’t wait till his art work goes on tour
I watch u on U-tube drawing people on the subway!! The people were so happy to recieve there gift from you. 😊
Wow what an incredible GOD given talent. 😊
Devon is monumentally talented! I’ve enjoyed his YT Shorts and am glad he’s getting the recognition he deserves.

Love his arts!
4:17 thank God that guy who he painted got to see his painting in the art gallery
You should be very proud of yourself Devon, keep up the great work you do. Your a great example for the young people.

He is a prodigy.
a cheat
God bless this man.
This is the kind of story we need right now!
I love his smile
Good evening family and good health to everyone especially MENTAL. Very proud of him 👏 ❤️ 💙
❤ To the best Abuela's of the world
This guy is very good, and deserve all the media coverage and accolades he is getting. Keep up the great work.
Very inspiring
The art world is full of crap.
This is true talent.
Hats off.
How sad that you can't praise someone without dumping on someone else.
@@tommyudo3195 as sad as you needing to point out someone's flaw maybe.
Only I am increasing my praise by stating my position.
Artists will never think I am talking about them, but the others to who's work they are too disappointed.
You're not better than others.
@@tommyudo3195 mother: remember what I told you? Yes ma ma. If you have nothing nice to say, don’t say nothing at all.
@@bishopwhite1822 The entire art world is not full of crap. Maybe you're just pissed about being a failure.
@@tommyudo3195 or maybe you are.

Amazing!
Amazing talent! Unreal

Yes! Bro! Congratulations! ❤
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.

I wouldn't be surprised if we saw his work in the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery one day.
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.
the world made the right person famous
I hope his grandmother got to see some of his success (is she still around?)... I love watching him draw people on the subway... so talented!

So inspirational. Thanks for sharing. 😊🎉
nooooooo its ok to go slow .... it shows!!! no 4 vlaues! OMG! art basics! stan lee im glad youcant see this ... or you jack king kirby
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.
Amazing
I love him he is such a great kid.
Este tipo es un fenómeno!!
What a savant! Self trained and so focused. This young man is so inspiring, down to earth and just a beautiful soul! While he may have been born in America, he is a shining example of why migrants will bring beauty and their talent to America and exactly why we should all be tolerate, caring and excited! So happy that his grandmother was available and showed him her interest and with his talent he has shown us that no matter where one comes from that individual beauty is alive and well. Much respect!

Wow... he is super talented
He’s super talented
So happy for him. And thankfully we are able to see his talents thanks to his uploads
This guy is a magician ❤
Incredible

Congratulations, Devon!
Really great
Report on the way he has sent his fans online to attack an art critic for an honest and thorough critique…He has talent, sure, but does he have heart or humility? Not sure.
I have also been following him, trust an believe he's going to be rich beyond belief. From the hood to the penthouse...
He already is rich
no way how much is work worth ?@@jdos5643
I love your art! You are greatness Devon 🤗
I really enjoy seeing the people he draws or paints react to receiving their portrait. Many get emotional from realizing that they have been noticed and were important enough for him to spend time on them.

I’ve seen his drawings that he has done on the subway. He is amazing. His paintings are even more magical.
❤ *The way so many of them are set up and fake, it's really disappointing to the otherwise fun story. Even that first "girl on the subway" was HalleyBaily (or however you spell that) and she did TWO of them.* 🙄🤦
Bros the definition of a camera. Brilliant.
Danny Mendoza from Lucky's in Union City..the old days..
EXCELLENT!
Wow
❤️🌱🌱🌱
Best of luck!
Wow ❤❤❤
He’s very inspiring!
Art gives people such joy. It is a stitch in the human tapestry of what we are ; culture, pride,history,awe, beauty.
It’s a shame it’s valued so little in our educational system. By the money crunchers and the politicians they puppet.
One party appreciates it more than the other, and tries, sure. But the outcome remains the same.

It’s nice to make it in the galleries. Nice work. 🧑🎨♾️😊
So a person who paints can’t just get into galleries? How does that work?
Dam he’s fine.
Sad that what he does is FAKE, his videos are staged with actors.
Only none artists would believe that you can draw that precis on a train, being filmed and that no one would notice it.
If you express your doubt on his social media profile your comment will be blocked or hidden very fast.
What are you talking about? He has talent. You don’t see his paintings?
@@jdos5643 the question is not if he can draw and paint, he can.
But he's LYING to his fans about the process. Hi pretends that he paints strangers on a bumpy metro ride, which he doesn't.
He paints it at home and then he met up with the person again on the train with the completed drawing.
My message is sprinkle inspiration LOVED WELL
I would love to know the process... do u meet them in the metro then meet them again later....or u draw them then finish the a ur studio?
I love it! So talented.
⭐ Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
God Bless you Devon. 🙏🏼 ❤
Did the last minute and a half the video went black? I had sound but no picture?
👏👏👏🌆
SIR DEVON DA VINCI PICASSO RODRIGUEZ
Reminds me of Chuck Close.
How sad you can't allow him to stand on his accomplishment without you reducing it to imitation.
I believe that was meant to be a compliment.
You deserve all the success the world has to offer. Your talent is unstoppable to match your humble heart. Thank you Devon.
@@billycarroll9153 If you know anything about Chuck Close's work, you know that I meant my comment as a compliment. Chuck Close is perhaps the greatest photorealist who ever painted. This kid in the video does work that rivals some of Close's greatest paintings
@@tommyudo3195 I totally agree with you. My comment was directed to the first statement regarding the comparison.
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.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🙏💎💎💎💎💎
❤ 🌎 ✌
What you guys think he’s better than da Vinci. He’s either two things. A savant or a fraud. Either way he’s not creative as far the creative masters go and you can check out what Frank Frazetta said. If you want to impress me, you have to be good composition. Look up the word artist in the dictionary it is a creative person copying what you see on the train is not very creative especially if you are gifted . He will never be famous outside of his little train trick. His oils will never be worth millions like franks Alex Ross, Neil Adams these are creative people.
There are many of people on 42nd St. that do this and around the world. What’s worse if you really take a look, it looks like a photograph not a drawing. Why would anybody want that? Use a camera lol I’m being facetious there but really where is the creativity and making it look exactly like the person?
His videos are staged but people really want to believe it real..
Do I smell jealously here?
He is not original and centrally not honest.@@jdos5643
I hope that made some impact on you love your repose. Love talking about art i don't care if im wrong i might learn something
@@jdos5643 Do I smell a gullible and totally lack of critical thinking person?
"so not what the art world deems as traditional" I think he means in regard to modern spoiled artists who come from rich families and go to RISD and whose parents put them up in New York. The history of art is littered with struggling poverty stricken artists. Van Gogh sold one painting in his entire lifetime for instance. The modern art world is analogous to modern sports. It wasn't that long ago that athletes were paid very poorly. Now they're getting almost billion dollar contracts. The modern art world has become the opposite end of the spectrum, is absurd and filled with spoiled artists who feel entitled to live not only well but rich. Where once you had people like Caravaggio you now have living parodies of artists who are more akin to pampered caviar eating poodles.
