Fourteen years of existence marks a period of growth, change, and introspection — an era of creativity and emotion that leads to long-term personal and artistic development. As we celebrate deviantART's 14th birthday, we want to thank all of you for joining in on the journey of growth and development, from the deviants who have been here from the start to the deviants who are starting out their deviantART experience today.

Twitter Facebook Google+ DeviantArt.com will celebrate its 15th birthday in August 2015. While many online communities have come and gone during the last decade and a half, DeviantArt remains because of our passionate and committed community. In that time, we've celebrated many milestones, and it became apparent we were in need of a place to share our victories and our challenges. And since we want to move toward more complete transparency with the community, what better time to also showcase

Earlier this year, we introduced the DeviantArt Timeline, which highlights the work we’ve accomplished in the past, and lays the groundwork for the work that is to come. As we progress, we’ll update the Timeline with additions to show what’s in store for the near future on DeviantArt. This journal outlines items that have been added to the timeline today, and what you can expect to see soon. Upcoming Events July 8: View Your Own Poll Results Without Voting A seemingly small and very specific change, but a huge community request.

Community Week A few weeks ago, I was contacted by moonbeam13 (https://www.deviantart.com/moonbeam13) about volunteering for the Literature gallery as a Community Volunteer. And once the possibility started becoming a certainty, I got really excited, and wanted to share the exciting news with my family. But then I thought, "how do I explain something like this to them?" And realised I didn't really know how to make them understand. :giggle: That's how I got the idea for this Community Week article. I don't want to say "most", but a good portion of DeviantArt's users are young/teenagers. It's really important for parents to know and understand what you're doing when you spend ho

I can't believe Comic Con 2015 is over :(  My body is still recovering.  This year I felt was a little light on cosplay but I found some good ones.  Of course it was my usual Con - books, books, books - with a little extra fun thrown in, like the impromptu interview I got to do with the voice of Donatello from TMNT and one of the voices from 'Sanjay and Craig': Rob Paulsen (Donatello) and Maulik Pancholy (Sanjay and Craig) My friend and I went into the booth and did a couple of recordings with them which was fun :)   There's an embarrassing video of that somewhere... I also did some other interviews which I'll put some links up to once I ge
