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.
This is the beauty of the Bronx, Devon Rodriguez keep repping, young man. May you keep rising in your art hope to be riding a train one day and meet you❤
He deserves this! I'm a big big fan
What An Amazing Beautiful Humble Soul That Is Devon Rodriguez. May God Bless His Heart And Soul.
I’m proud and happy for him. Good for you Devon! ✨✌️🥹
Devon definitely deserves this recognition. He’s a truly outstanding artist!
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!👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽🌹
This guy deserves everything coming to him. Been watching his videos for a few yrs now. Excellent

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
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 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 RUclipsrs 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!
Such a talented beautiful man
I hope one day I can be an artist like Devon. He's an inspiration!
I have been following for a while. He brings happiness to everyone who he draws the pictures n viewers. He deserves all the success. 🎉🎉❤❤
I've been drawing for 55 years I was considered talented at a very young age enough to get two scholarships he's much better than me and I'm so proud and happy for him
I can't remember anymore when I started watching Devon's video. He's one of my most favorite artist and human.
So love to see his Subway Paintings he is so Humble. Keep up the good work Devon the Sky is the Limit. CONGRATULATIONS ❤️

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.
High Respect!
*Ahhhh* 🙀 this Man is Super inspirational, hardworking, and Amazing! He deserves it all! Thank you news for giving him yet another platform to show his talents and all the good he does! 🥰
Devon is monumentally talented! I’ve enjoyed his YT Shorts and am glad he’s getting the recognition he deserves.

CHEERS to folks like Devon who DISPLAY AND ARTICULATE how CONNECTED WE ALL TRULY ARE❣️ Keep on Rockin❣️
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.

This is the kind of story we need right now!
So talented!
One, he draws is blessed.❤
Love his arts!
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 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...😊
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.
I love his smile
Wish he would come to Puerto Rico to display his art❤❤
CONGRATULATIONS! l love this guy, his art!
4:17 thank God that guy who he painted got to see his painting in the art gallery
Fantastic work ❤
So proud of you Devon, well deserved!

Good evening family and good health to everyone especially MENTAL. Very proud of him 👏 ❤️ 💙
❤ *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.* 🙄🤦
Incredible talent !

Way to go for that guy.
Este tipo es un fenómeno!!
Wow... he is super talented
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.
This guy is a magician ❤
He is a prodigy.
a cheat
Very inspiring
Amazing!
He’s super talented
Wow, exhibit is in September. That gallery must be fully booked all the time.
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!

I love him he is such a great kid.
Well done bro...Adding joy to humanity 👌🏽
Incredible
I wouldn't be surprised if we saw his work in the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery one day.
It was so wonderful to see how surprised and happy the subway passengers were when he gave them the portraits he drew. What a beautiful and rare gift!
This guy is very good, and deserve all the media coverage and accolades he is getting. Keep up the great work.
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.
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!

I love your art! You are greatness Devon 🤗
Amazing
the world made the right person famous
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?
c
Congratulations, Devon!
EXCELLENT!
Really great
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
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.
Bros the definition of a camera. Brilliant.
So happy for him. And thankfully we are able to see his talents thanks to his uploads
Wow ❤❤❤
Stay humble, kid!
❤
Yesterday, my 17 year old daughter told me she wants to pursue an art degree in college. I told her “that’s great but how will you earn a living? You need a plan b.” Today, this video shows up on my feed.
I think the universe is trying to tell me something 🤔
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.

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.
Hoping to bump into you one day God willing 🙏🏽🥰🥰
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 want to be like him
He’s a fraud become a real artist like da Vinci, Frank Frazetta, Alex Ross, Neil Adams. These are the commercial artist you wanna look at. This individual does not know anatomy. He’s as good as the 42nd St., artist in New York City.
