Eta 2019: I am no longer listed on DeviantArt.
DeviantArt
(stylized as
deviantART abbreviated as dA) is an online community showcasing various forms of user-made artwork. First launched on
August 7, 2000 by Scott Jarkoff, Matthew Stephens, Angelo Sotira and others,
deviantArt, Inc. is headquartered in the Hollywood area of Los Angeles, California, United States.
DeviantArt
aims to provide a platform for any artist to exhibit and discuss works. Works
are organized in a comprehensive category structure, including traditional art, photography, digital art, literature, Flash, filmmaking, skins for applications,
operating system customization utilities and others, along with extensive
downloadable resources such as tutorials and stock photography.
Additional utilities include journals, polls, groups and portfolios.
As of
August 2010, the site consists of over 14.5 million members, and over 100
million submissions, and receives around 140,000 submissions per day. In
addition, deviantArt users submit over 1.4 million "favorites" and
1.5 million comments daily. The domain deviantart.com attracted at least 36 million
visitors annually by 2008 according to a Compete.com study. As of
July 2011, it is the 13th largest social network with 3.8 million weekly visits.
Even with
the large audience of artists and viewers, it is easy to target other
photographers via the array of groups established by genre and interests. One
can offer their work for sale which is printed by dA. I've had 3 - 16 x 16
giclée prints made by them – the quality is excellent and economical as well!
