I've been an art teacher for 37 years. This young man is exceptional. Not only is he talented, but he has a great way of marketing himself. I love his way of approaching his models.
I grew up with Devon in the South Bronx.
Watching him flourish in this industry has been nothing short of incredible. This is a true testimony to his drive as a person and what creative expression is all about.

"Keep Smiling," love for his grandma ...and a super talented artist! He's the real deal!
Your artistry brought an Appreciation BACK to Art 🎨 when folks most needed to smile again
I am absolutely amazed not only by his artwork, but also his kind heart 🥰 I look forward to seeing each video... I keep smiling BECAUSE of Devon...he is a wonderful example of the way everyone should be.
I'm so thankful for your Instagram, Devon. Glad you're here.
Every time I watch a video of Devon I get amazed by how talented and nice he is, the kind of person you want to be friends with and those are the best!
Young artists like Devon and Sky Black put a huge smile on my face. It's great to see original art being done.
The best example of: if you want something, GO FOR IT!. 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Rarely seen and heard such a positive and ultra talented artist like Devon. He is so earthed and humble. Great to hear his stories and the stories of his peers and those he portray on the streets. Exceptional young man.
Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy who took his craft seriously and deserves all the attention he has gotten. Great video ! Thanks for making this!
I discovered Devon on UA-cam, so I'm not sure how the TikTok timeframe fits with that, but I cannot adequately express how amazingly blessed I feel to have watched Devon's journey(s) for the past several years, via UA-cam. Thank you so much, Devon, for sharing your phenomenal gift (honed to an exceptional talent, with all the hard work you've invested). I see a future for you and yours that will bring joy to such a huge section of humanity. Thank you, thank you, and also - THANK YOU!
