Artist Devon Rodriguez Captures the Bold Sportiness of the BMW M2
I was raised to see the beauty in hard work, to create with integrity and take pride in my work. My earliest portraits, they were done on the subway, just drawing strangers, trying to capture something real. My brother used to always tell me, the way you carry yourself when no one’s watching, that’s your real style. And that always stuck with me. Even one quiet line can contribute to something bold. And that’s what I learned over time. Just keep showing up and the work is going to speak for itself. Maybe that’s why I’m so drawn to the M2. It doesn’t try to fit in. It’s sculpted to stand out. It’s like every strong piece. It makes a statement in the details. And as I’ve grown, I focused on using my art to spread positivity, to reflect what’s beautiful in people, even when they don’t even see it in themselves. Every drawing that I make says something, not just about who someone is, but who they’re becoming. You never know when inspiration is going to hit, so I just stay ready. This was never just a job to me. It’s the way that I moved through the world. And this isn’t just a drawing. It’s a reflection of where I started and everything I’m still building toward.
Even one quiet line can contribute to something bold.
