This kid is the real deal. Passionate, talented, and hungry for learning. I've spent some time with him when he visited DreamWorks a couple of times--genuine, friendly guy.
But how in heavens-name did he get into Disney and which strings did he pull to visit Dreamworks?! His art is amazing, but that is even more amazing! Cause even when you're a very good artist it is hard to visit these places.So Anthony Holden, do tell me I'm very curious :)
He's a student in the Ryman program (http://www.rymanarts.org/). I guess through his connections in the program he was introduced to Shane Prigmore (Ryman graduate), who had him down to the studio for an afternoon. I work right down the hall from Shane, so I stopped by to meet De'Von when he was here.
your blog is one blog i keep coming to find new interesting artistic links and news, THANKS for posting them.i wish this guy lots of luck, real awesome talent, :)
This guy has a beautiful sense of shape and simplicity-- and no wonder he was looking at Andrew Shek's work, if he's obsessed with shape then he'll be inspired by the great gestures Shek creates. really, really fun work!

And, yeah, only 16. Sheesh!
ah so he's legit? that one piece hit a little too close for comfort to call original work, I'd say, but DANG, his stuff is awesome

@ Tyson: De'Von's cheetah is clearly labeled as "Cheetah inspired by Andrew Shek’s original design."
