you pray he gets rich? That's the dumbest thing you could have written. Pray for him being happy, not his bank account. American logic at its finest again
Have looked at your videos regularly and always thought you're a wonderful artist...really fabulous that you have this exhibition and you deserve recognition! Bravo to you 🥰
He captures the soul of the person he's painting, which moves the soul of the viewer. I'm fascinated by his videos because when he hands a person that kind of portrait their soul pops right out in response. That makes anyone even halfway paying attention feel more joyfully alive. And less alone because here is someone in the world who can really see what's important.
Devon is a force of nature... extremely talented artist... humble... caring... innovative... giving person. I thoroughly enjoy seeing the direction he is taking with his "Painting a stranger's portrait realistically while hearing their life story" videos. I consider Devon the BEST LIVING ARTIST of my lifetime... and I'm 68 years old! I wish 2024 will be an epic year for him!
I totally concur with the uplifting, positive appreciation that @mcrickard1 just posted: Devon is a positive force & Devon Rodriguez is my favorite artist of all time! (He’s earned every accolade!) I’m a caricature artist and am 73 years in age; because of Devon’s strong influence upon my life I’m now doing what Devon does: drawing live pics of strangers without them realizing I’m doing a “sneaky sketch” of them… The surprise & smiles on a stranger’s face, seeing their image makes my heart soar! AND bc of Devon, I’m changing my art style away from caricature to a blend between caricature & realism AND I ask my models, as Devon does, “what’s your biggest challenge” type of questions… I’ve discovered that many people have never been listened to by another soul who is interested in them… it is literally like mainlining to my heart! In my humble opinion, and as a professional caricaturist, I am thoroughly convinced Devon Rodriguez is the Modern day MASTER. Not to get too personal but I’m legally blind, have problematic depth perception struggles, but bc of Devon, I see that improvement in art is possible! May God bless Devon Rodriguez bc the world needs kind and positive role models that Devon Rodriguez certainly is!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am so happy for you, Devon, AND for your grandma! after all the hardship and tragedies, the fact that both of you are still alive is kind of amazing..and the biggest reward is to see people looking at their own image, drawn by someone else, and seeing the vulnerability in their faces...just great.
Congratulations Devon. You are an amazing person. I love how you interact with people. It certainly pays to be kind. Your artwork is unreal! So happy you are successful!
YOU are a gift of grace & glory, your talent is a BONUS! Your life is an inspiration, & your grandmother a role model for us all. Thank you for sharing your talent & life with one & all XO
This is how an influencer is supposed to act. Humble! Not, do you know who I am? I have 100K followers. and you must roll out the red carpet. I normally unsub when a channel reaches a 1mil, because that influencer develops a huge ego, like SS Sniperwolf. I subscribed to her channel when she only had 1K and now she's a very bad person. Devon on the other hand keeps bringing joy to the people around him and shares his gifts with open arms!
I love that you were your father's last canvas ❤️. It had to be pure joy for your father. Keep up the beautiful work that brings people together no matter which instrument you use🖌🎨✏️🖼
I’m so happy,proud and excited for this young kind man. His talent is unmatched. Congratulations to him and his grandmother for raising him to be such a wonderful human being. I’m thinking to go back to NYC just to see his artwork and maybe to meet him. 👍👏🙏❤️👏👍🙏👏👏👏
Mr. Rodrigues, I believe you are absolutely flawless. Your art is just fantastical, amazing. I can’t think of the words I would like to use..lol. Just wow!
Congratulations Devon! For the exhibition in a gallery , for the work you put in , but most of all for keeping it real and making this link between people and visual art. I wish you keep painting, anything you feel like❤
Congratulations Devon, on your first art exhibit and for being recognized and admired by the everyday people who have come to love and appreciate you through your beautiful artwork. You are able to capture a person’s essence in less than an hour. That’s incredible! You are an amazing artist and human being.
Devon, I love to watch you create your art in your videos. You are so talented and your artwork is heart-centered. And to see that your first exhibit has taken place just warms my heart! Wish I could have been there to see it in person. May God bless you and fill your life with many blessings!
Congratulations on your first exhibition Devon, it’s well deserved. You bring much needed happiness to so many people with your art skills. I have a feeling that this is just the first of many exhibitions to come. You are an amazing artist.
A very talented artist, your skills is just amazing. The portraits that you make after each and every encounter with random people seem so alive and realistic because you also get to see through them. And no reward is sweeter than getting to witness their priceless reactions. I envy your talent really. Congratulations Devon, you deserve all the recognition and praise!
Congratulations, Devon. Your works of art what a amazing thing especially when your art is drawn on the train. I've seen many of your drawings of random people on the train, when you're done and you hand it them the expression on they're face can't be replaced. Am from NYC too, hoping I get a chance to meet you. This is a perfect example of, it's your season for a reason. Last but not least, Happy New Year, and many blessings to you, keep doing whatcha do.❤️❤️🎨🎨🎨🖌️🖌️🖌️🖍️🖍️🖍️ NYC, we love you Devon, keep growing strong.😉😉😉
What Devon does is just beautiful. And we get to see him while he's creating his works. He let's people in to the window of his world. So lovely. Devon is more than Art, he is an experience.🏵️🌼🍂
Every time I see one of Devons' vids my face breaks into a big grin. Congratulations on your first exhibition and it is all down to you, no silver spoon in your mouth. He also comes over as a really gentle and nice man.
Congratulations on your first exhibition. We all love to ‘people watch ‘ but you’ve taken it to such a different level and have found something to call your own . What a genius idea .It is so unique to do such incredible drawings in such a short space of time . I often wondered what happens if they get off before you finish but of course the mystery of filming and I work in the industry but you have done the videos so well I forgot with there is a camera person filming so of course your subject is aware . It still doesn’t take away the amazed reactions and excitement when they see your finished piece . Again congratulations . Here’s hoping 2024 is going to be your year . ❤
You have such a kind touch to your art. The way you capture someone’s likeness through the eyes of someone who cares for the subject and only sees them as the work of art that they are, is inspiring. Continued success to you ❤
You are simple and simply amazing!!!! Stay like this please! don’t change ever and if you change change for the better. Just love love your craftsmanship❤
I’m sure there are other painters as skilled at photo-realism. But Devon’s attitude and interaction with his subjects; his subject matter; the immediate results of his drawings; and all the smiles and tears of joy he elicits make him truly unique. And a huge respite from our stresses. Thank you, Devon!
What a great & talented young man. In the words of one of my favorite blues musicians (Buddy Guy) "Don't hold anything back just let it go". FLY NAVY!!!
I wish I could have been there! You are so talented and kind. Your art is amazing--so much "feels" and reals. Keep up the good work and being the humble, kind person you are. ❤
Devon, your art is surreal, organic and amazing. I am so very proud of you especially being Puerto Rican like myself to see you succeed in the world of art you love so much. Keep flourishing in your career and never let anyone stop you from being yourself. Being a grandma myself I know you make your grandma proud. Looking forward to seeing you in my hood of Maryland and having you draw me (you never know) You are awesome 🤩
Congrats to you Devon!!! I've watched so many of your videos and was always impressed at your creative talent. I am so happy that you are getting all of the praise and exposure!!! Keep up the amazing work!!!
So happy to see such a humble, kind and dedicated young man be recognised for his talent and passion. Well done Devon 👏 from an Australian fan, we hope you bring your exhibition down under too 🦘🙌🎨
Congratulations Devon on your exhibit, well deserved! Love the authentic connections you have when you are painting, showing authentic conversations can still occur face to face with strangers!
Devon, continue to let your beautiful light shine throughout the world! You were born for such a time as this. I love your life story of overcoming pain and disappointment.
There is just something about the artwork that comes from NYC artists - if you've ever lived there, you'll know what I mean. I'm immediately drawn to Devon's work - the soul, the humanity, the quiet realness of his paintings.
You're art is amazing. You always seem to capture not only a person's look but what they feeling at that moment. Much success to you. At the end when you got on the subway, I saw a poster and thought... Why don't they put up some posters of what you have drawn or painted, I think people would love that.
Brings tears to my eyes everytime I hear a story like this. It shows that regardless of your background, you can become a rose in the sidewalk no matter where you are..
Parabéns Devon, o seu talento é incrível, e mesmo sem conhecer você pessoalmente, a sua simplicidade e a sua humildade caminhando juntos ao seu talento, PARABÉNS HOJE FELICIDADES SEMPRE AMIGO, SUCESSO SEMPRE, forte abraço
Devon, I'm so happy to see you, your hard work and talent receiving such well deserved acclaim and appreciation. Witnessing a good and decent person's success being driven by their passion is so very awe inspiring.

Bahaha guess you didn't see his reaction to the art critic. 🙄

Greetings from Ireland 🎉

He deserves the honor. He brings so much happiness to people!
That’s amazing .. showing reality of life with your arts and paintings have really different impact because it’s real ..
Remember, you are famous too. You make people smile.
Edit: I love his work.
Its crazy not being recognized in subways but in art space its most recognized person.
He's unbelievably talented. He paints so fast!;
❤ Congratulations! You have an amazing gift.
Felicidades Devon, eres un gran artísta , y cómo.persona te veo muy humilde y eso te hace aún más grande . Felicidsdes por tu exhibición .
Truly an incredible story !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice story 🇬🇧
Kid is an amazing talent
Devon is a great example of God's Blessing.🫡✝️🙏🙏☦️🫡✌️👍👌😜😮, Devon can we find your drawings online.
Devon's talent is immeasurable. I could watch him draw all day! I pray he truly gets rich and famous but remains humble and happy.
you pray he gets rich? That's the dumbest thing you could have written. Pray for him being happy, not his bank account. American logic at its finest again
Perhaps you should read my entire response. Also he wants to help other artists. That takes money no matter what country you are from.
Have looked at your videos regularly and always thought you're a wonderful artist...really fabulous that you have this exhibition and you deserve recognition! Bravo to you 🥰
He captures the soul of the person he's painting, which moves the soul of the viewer.

I totally concur with the uplifting, positive appreciation that @mcrickard1 just posted: Devon is a positive force & Devon Rodriguez is my favorite artist of all time!
(He’s earned every accolade!)
I’m a caricature artist and am 73 years in age; because of Devon’s strong influence upon my life I’m now doing what Devon does: drawing live pics of strangers without them realizing I’m doing a “sneaky sketch” of them…
The surprise & smiles on a stranger’s face, seeing their image makes my heart soar!
AND bc of Devon, I’m changing my art style away from caricature to a blend between caricature & realism AND I ask my models, as Devon does, “what’s your biggest challenge” type of questions…
I’ve discovered that many people have never been listened to by another soul who is interested in them… it is literally like mainlining to my heart!
In my humble opinion, and as a professional caricaturist, I am thoroughly convinced Devon Rodriguez is the Modern day MASTER.
Not to get too personal but I’m legally blind, have problematic depth perception struggles, but bc of Devon, I see that improvement in art is possible!
May God bless Devon Rodriguez bc the world needs kind and positive role models that Devon Rodriguez certainly is!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
How much does he pay you for comments like this? I am very interested in joining please!!
Devon, you are truly "the people's artist." Much respect. May you be richly blessed
Subway riders are the real people
He is a real artist, and he is so motivating and humble. He deserve the best!!
I am so happy for you, Devon, AND for your grandma! after all the hardship and tragedies, the fact that both of you are still alive is kind of amazing..and the biggest reward is to see people looking at their own image, drawn by someone else, and seeing the vulnerability in their faces...just great.
I agree with you
Congratulations Devon. You are an amazing person. I love how you interact with people. It certainly pays to be kind. Your artwork is unreal! So happy you are successful!
Shaking the lady's hand with paint and it didn't matter to him just shows how an down to earth person he is. Devon has a big heart😊
YOU are a gift of grace & glory, your talent is a BONUS! Your life is an inspiration, & your grandmother a role model for us all. Thank you for sharing your talent & life with one & all XO

Jesteś wielkim Artystą, o ogromnym sercu.

I love that you were your father's last canvas ❤️. It had to be pure joy for your father.
Keep up the beautiful work that brings people together no matter which instrument you use🖌🎨✏️🖼
It HAD to be ? Oh the drama of made up nonsense
Devon was just another one customer for that guy, nothing else!!!

He is an amazing artist, his paintings so real that they look like photographs. There are not many artists with that kind of skill.
