    "I just discovered Devin's work....his color choices and compositons are really wonderful.....and I was even more impressed when I found out that he paints everything while submerged in a luke warm hot tub......wow!"

    "I'm writing this testimonial in response to Devin's heartfelt words, of which regards true love.

    Devin is the kind of guy that'll do just that; make you feel loved. Then he'll piss on you. When you ask him why, somehow he’ll find a way to manipulate the situation and make it seem as though it's actually your fault he pissed on you. Very clever. Although what Devin doesn’t realize is that I’m not holding his cock, nor can I squeeze it just the right way so that his urine flows through his tubes and cascades along my leg. It’s uncertain weather or not he believes this to be true, but that’s not important. And although you might find yourself angry, you’ll also find that you’ve been enlightened by the words that fall from his mouth as his piss hits your leg.

    You’re right Devin, it’s only true that love will make me happy. And I realize it’s just as necessary to give love as it is to receive it. Mistakes happen for reason. I guess it’s a question of weather the reason is good or bad, or if it was even a mistake at all. But the important thing is who you find sharing your smile and embracing you in the end.

    You fucking bitch.

    At least you're still making art."

    Conor Ryan says:

    "The child like simplicity of Devin Oatway’s amazing artwork betrays a sophisticated mind and a probing imagination. At once alive with frivolity, yet filled with mystery and strangeness – evincing a sort of postmodern Jean Cocteau; Devin’s is a journal of a traveler of the inner child in scary grown-up world gone awry."

    Evil Telepathic Monkey says:

    "Devin's art is a paradox: digital art that doesn't look digital; childlike yet sophisticated; and although strange upon first glance, the more you look, the more you sense warmth and familiarity, as if he's tapped into some collective unconciuos.

    Having met Devin I can also vouch for the fact he's an all around great guy. Thanks for helping make our show a great success.

    (you should also check out his blog and read "The Green MG", a great short story)"

    "Childhood wonderment brought to adult subject realms converging on canvasses of fanciful creativity, Devin's paintings cause me to smile and dream a little dream."

    "I find Devin’s art incredibly inspiring. He is a true standout artist of our generation, and will not be soon forgotten. With a style very much his own, the artwork he produces will most certainly be admired and cherished for a long, long time.

    In addition to his creativity, Devin is a thoughtful, kind human being. I feel quite fortunate that he not only shares his artwork, but also his friendship with me and others who admire him so much.

    I also hear that Devin holds the secret to time travel. One day perhaps he’ll share his secrets."

    "Expert in the tools of an other-worldy artist, Devin Oatway is a name that you'll want to remember. He's one of those creators with a golden touch, and his style exceeds that of many of his contemporaries. Keep it up, Gudavadling!"

    "Before testimonials were invented there was something
    called true friends.
    Devin is a true friend, and not because this testimonial says so."

    "Add one part crooked centipede, three parts rusted can, another two parts of moonie alien gazes (all from your extra supply that is) and blend with the rest of Devin's character which, you know, has stuff like sacred orangutan spirit, gargantuan artistic talent and a bit of peppered revolutionary romanticism and you'll get one heck of a photo spread....which you do even if you don't bother reading my blather...just take a look at his photo stream.
    Plus he's really nice and will sell you a pair of designer underwear if you like!. Don't miss out."
