Tiktok star with 34M followers blatantly rips of local artist commissioned by the Knicks - then deletes and blocks every single person calling them out
Gavin says he used 67 reference photos for his piece, including screenshots from Instagram Reels and Google Street View. "I knew exactly when and where all the elements in my scene were placed - a waving flag, a foam finger, a hot dog cart, a billboard - and his version was uncanny, almost traced, with a few small changes and an unearthly glow."
Devon Rodriguez is arguably the world's most-followed visual artist, with roughly 44 million followers across IG and TikTok. He's demonstrated serious artistic skill for years through videos documenting his process. But the speed of the turnaround and similarities to Gavin's piece lead many to speculate if tracing or genAI was involved in Devon's final print.

Devon has not directly responded to the plagiarism allegations, but he recently posted a behind-the-scenes video showing the creation of his painting: https://www.instagram.com/p/DZpw-Mykc2f/?img\_index https://www.instagram.com/p/DZpw-Mykc2f/?img_index
