deviantART is a web site launched on August 7, 2000 by Scott Jarkoff, Angelo Sotira and Matt StephensIt aimed to provide a central location for graphical artists to display their creations for feedback and public exposure. It puts an emphasis on digital works as pieces of art rather than just desktop eye candy.
It now also hosts prose, poetry, photography, flash exhibits, cell phone art, Indy art, wallpapers, fonts and skins for more than 105 applications. The focus of deviantART is not so much on having a place to store and retrieve art, but more on artist interaction, with a plethora of almost weblog-like features.
deviantART also has a print service called deviantART Prints (previously know as deviantPrints) and an online magazine called deviantMAG.
On August 7, 2004, deviantART's fourth anniversary, deviantART v4 (aka 'Fournando') was unveiled, with quite major visual modifications (introducing tabs for more modern browsers, among other things), modifications to the message center and a real-time updating chat room, dAmn.
As of August 29,2004, deviantART has 7,730,637 'Deviations' (art pieces).
