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.

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!
@courtsketchartist5 ай бұрын
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!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

@peggygarcia61255 ай бұрын
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.

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!

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 . ❤
