Wow, I randomly picked this video to watch and realized I knew her mother. The two of us worked together right up until she got sick. Last we spoke she called me to tell me she was retiring and not coming back. Knowing what a great person she was doesn’t surprise me at all as to what a beautiful person her daughter Jessie is. Wishing you and your family the best Jessie! Devon keep up the great work, you are amazing man!

This painter is incredibly skilled and comes across as a genuinely kind-hearted individual. The girl he is painting and interviewing has an extraordinary story, and she is really sweet. It's fantastic how he uses his platform to showcase his talent while also sharing the stories behind the masterpieces he creates.

Being able to sit and talk is probably the best tool in your paint box. By the same token, sitting for a portrait and answering questions makes it easier to forget yourself and really open up in a way you probably wouldn’t even with a therapist. Her portrait turned out amazing.

Stop idolising this fool. He started a hate campaign against an ART CRITIC who gave him an incredibly positive review. Devon didn't like it. The art critic - who was just doing the literal job is is employed to do - has received innumerable death threats as a result.

@@TheIndigoSystemgirl. You are not fr. Please tell me that you don't know what happened. He's not a little kid artist on the Internet. He's a grown man that put his art in an exhibit. You should expect people to criticize it. Plus Ben barely said anything negative and was really nice to him but crybaby over here can't take any criticism at all. He had the most embarrassing freak out. I can see why he dropped out of art school 🙄
