Deviation Actions
The coming weeks and months at deviantART are going to be EPIC. Everyone at deviantART HQ, and our staff in every corner of the globe, couldn't be more excited! The Groups system, Portfolio engines, search engine upgrades, easy to customize journals, and other long-awaited features will all soon see the light of day.
To celebrate and spread the word, $Heidi (Director of Marketing) and $spyed (co-Founder & CEO) will be hitting the open road and taking to the sky on deviantART's first ever World Tour! We'll be visiting cities around the world with large concentrations of deviants, as reported by our statistic tracking software, Google Analytics, and are eager to meet deviants in their local environments.
In each city, we'll be holding deviantMEETS at local art museums, galleries, or parks, with simple goals like gathering direct feedback from deviants, learning which features you value most, and finding out more about your personal deviantART experiences. The Tour offers all deviants the ability to hang out and chat with deviantART core $admins to share comments, ask questions, make suggestions, or just have a good time with like-minded people! Tour stops are totally casual and low-key. $Heidi and $spyed are coming to your city to hang out and have fun. ALL deviants are invited and we're so looking forward to hear what you have to say!
Where the World Tour is headed?
To stay up to date on all Tour happenings, stop by deviantART's first official Group at hq.deviantart.com on a regular basis.
#HQ will act has homebase for all Tour details, including information about dates, times, and locations for deviantMEETS, photos of Tour shenanigans, travel blogs written by $Heidi and $spyed, the ability to chat with local deviants, and more. Be sure to +watch #HQ, or take things a step further and become a Groupie! While we won't be announcing all Tour cities ahead of time, or in which order they'll be visited, we will give deviants at least four days notice before deviantART #HQ invades your city.
What if you don't come to my city?
DeviantART is a worldwide community comprised of talented artists and art enthusiasts. While we don't have the means to bring the World Tour to everyone, we're certainly looking forward to this initial tour and couldn't be more enthusiastic about connecting with fellow deviants. If we can't come to your city, we're both going to be really bummed out about it, so please continue to deviate and remember, deviantART loves you!
If you're coming to my city, how the heck will I know??!
First, be sure to +watch #HQ. Second, we'll be sending regional Hot Topics directly to people who live within 400 kilometers of any city we're visiting. Third, +watch #HQ.
How long is this tour?
Forty days.
Are you guys crazy?
Yes.
Are you bringing llamas?
If anyone along the way arranges something along the lines of hang time with real llamas, we're talking super bonus points here.

How's it going?
How's it going around here? At a glance, it appears that the recommendations team is doing a fantastic job with the home environment. The quality of stuff I'm interested in is way up- all fresh and recent. I don't see much AI artwork, which was really over-taking the place for a moment.
How's everyone feeling these days?
I've had a fun break. Didn't know how much I needed it.
A New Chapter Begins
Dearest Deliciously Devious DeviantArt,
Our community is not only the largest community the Internet has ever seen; I’ve traveled around the world and met so many of you, and through all of my interactions at Comic-Cons, World Tours, Deviant Meets and random gatherings I’ve always said that the very special bond of creativity that binds us all, actually results in a very caring and sweet group of people. Our community of Deviants are also the best, kindest, most sincere people who have ever congregated at such a scale under one umbrella.
I’ve been the Shepard of that umbrella for 22 years, and that has been my greatest joy and my greatest professional love. I’ve tried through all of it to remain centered on the principals and care that each of you have instilled in me, and I’ve tried to push forward standing behind the projects that I felt were the best aligned with our values as a community.
The entire journey of DeviantArt has had its many chapters, this past 5+ years at Wix have
Seeing the world through Rose Colored Glasses
I went to the Whitney Museum in NYC recently to check out the Jasper Johns exhibit. I'm a big fan of his work and I wanted to better understand his twists and turns during the 80's and 90's. Incredible exhibit!
The elevator is HUGE and really awesome at the Whitney..
🥰
This isn't Jasper Johns work but anyway it's me checking stuff out
We exited through the gift ship and... We've all heard the expression, "Seeing the world through rose colored glasses", right? Well I had no idea they were such a great life hack.. the Whitney sold these Color Therapy Glasses..
... and they really work! Especially the magenta ones are just incredible for making the best of a gloomy day. If you've never tried it, I highly recommend a pair. Especially if you're sensitive to gloomy days!
I'm not trying to sell products here, but if you want a link on Amazon here it is here it is. There's nicer versions out there but these are $11. ($25 at the Whitney hehe)
Team and GV at NYC
About a month ago we visited NFT NYC to see what all the hype was about. Ran into Gary Vee and Steve J, great to catch up.
Einat & Jules ... we're all pretty happy to be out in the world after this long and cold corona winter..
myself, Liat, Jules, and Moti in Times Square..
Crazy to see all of NYC taken over by NFT's. A lot of force behind the movement, a lot of money and celebrities and companies. Still a very polarizing topic, but we still need to learn about it, right? Doing a lot of learning this year...
