My dear man, you did much more than making a stranger happy. You let them know it was okay to make contact with another human in times of complete fear and uncertainty. People are depressed. You became the light, for each of those people you became a light. Even for just a moment. I do believe you have a calling much higher! You are a gem, as your gem teacher noticed. Keep up the good artwork, and the good humanity work. Good man, much respect.

The smiles that you create on their faces after presenting the drawing to them…it warms my heart.

Peace and respect!

Love to see how your talent immediately shatters the defenses of all your subjects. They start by waving you off and end in awe of you.

Aside from your talent as a wonderful artist you more than anything else lit up, if only just a brief moment the lives of so many on that subway. In a world of isolation you touched them with a most beautiful gift! You made their day! All the respect to you for your empathy and humanity!

YOU are exactly what we need...full of love and kindness! YOU ROCK!

I love the shock. The shock of how good the drawers actually are. Never stop, that happiness they pass on to there friends and family. The joy spreads way past just you and them ❤

You deserve all the accolades for your hard work and determination to make a better life for yourself and others. We see evil on a daily basis in NYC but you single-handedly bypass that tough New York exterior and delve into the loving soul that each person possesses. We each have our own perception of how the world should be, however, as we transition through life our dreams slowly erode into something completely different. The harsh realities of life bear a heavy load, but we must continue this journey in the absence of the dream. It is your generosity that shows people that there are others who care about the well-being of a total stranger, it is that very kindness that gives people hope for a better tomorrow. You can clearly see the revival of a dream that was once forgotten. Thank you for being that spark that brings life back to NYC one person at a time.

What a hero. The world needs more people like you especially now. May the man upstairs continue to bless you, and may you continue to make peoples days better with your priceless and generous gift.

[timbarnett]

I can't believe how life like your drawings are, given the quick time needed too complete drawings before train stops? I wish I had just a fraction of your talent!

[PoeticJustice]

It's amazing how much passion he has for drawing. We hope we can make as much impact as you do daily!

[jaomwtoptd]

He's already learnt that the most precious gifts to give should be free.

[willberk]

What a spectacular talent, that also reveals a beautiful person with a great heart. I pray that your special gift is very lucrative for you.
