DeviantArt

DeviantArt (formerly styled as deviantART and thus abbreviated as dA) is an online community that features artwork, videography, photography, and literature, launched on August 7, 2000, by Matthew Stephens, Scott Jarkoff and Angelo Sotira, among others. DeviantArt is headquartered in the Hollywood area of Los Angeles, California. DeviantArt had about 36 million visitors annually by 2008. In 2010, DeviantArt users were submitting about 1.4 million favorites and about 1.5 million comments daily. In 2011, it was the thirteenth largest social network with about 3.8 million weekly visits. Several years later, in 2017, the site had more than 25 million members and more than 250 million submissions. In 2025, it reached a new milestone with 110 million registered users. In February 2017, the website was acquired by Israeli software company Wix.com in a $36 million deal. Since 2020, the site has seen an exodus of much of its userbase following decisions related to site design, AI, NFTs, and a large number of scam accounts populating the site. In 2025, DeviantArt reported that community sales totaled more than $23 million in artwork, purchased by over 260,000 users.
