1. Thank You!
I'd like to take a moment to issue a very important "THANK YOU" to YOU! The deviantART Community. On the heels of our 12th Birthday, I've looked back at the projects that my team have undertaken and realized that in the last year, especially, the deviantART community has stepped up and helped to make projects like #projecteducate and #ArtHistoryProject successful. Without your contributions, interest, faves, feedback and participation, projects like these would go no where. I'm looking forward to more community interaction and participation projects and am always open to your feedback regarding projects or endeavors you'd li

Celebrating Diversity #1Welcome to this new series of Art Features! Even tho most of you are aware of the many many galleries and categories here on dA, I think most of us move in a sort of "comfort zone" between Galleries, Channels or Groups that provide us with a constant flow of new art. And sometimes we forget all the other great artforms, styles and media that are out of our "comfort zone". And today I want to step out of that warm and cuddly place and feature some awesome works from places on dA I don't usually visit!
Since this is the first entry, I thought I should explain it a bit more, so that is why there is more text in this article

The topic of celebrating diversity is something that I really want to cherish. I am guilty of not fully

PE Daily Deviations: What if...?
Hello everyone!

After news articles explaining 'The Myth and the Legend' of the Daily Deviations, how to suggest them, tolerance towards Daily Deviations, the negativity, the focus on the notes and what it actually is, this article tackle the 'What if...?' scenarios t

Corrie Nielsen InterviewFascinated by form and design from young age as the daughter of a prominent American sculptor, London Fashion Week designer Corrie Nielsen obtained a First Class BA Honours degree in Fashion Design Womenswear from the world’s most famous fashion and art institute, Central Saint Martins. She worked in bespoke tailoring followed by a six- year stint at Vivienne Westwood before launching her eponymous label.
Corrie’s impressive background includes being chosen by John Galliano as the winner of the prestigious Fashion Fringe 2010 competition, establishing herself as the emerging designer to watch out for. Drawing inspiration from historical periods and combining her fascination of architectural forms and designs, she is lauded by the fashion press as a modern couturier with a truly unique aesthetic vision.
Corrie was kind enough to offer us a few minutes of her precious time in the run up to London Fashion Week (14th - 18th of Septe

Digital Art Newsletter - SeptemberHi guys! How have you been? Times flies whey you're busy huh? I can't believe my first week as CV in this new term already passed! But now that I'm more settled down I think the best way to start this is to let you guys know of what is going on around Digital Art and what to expect in the following weeks!
Thiefo WANTS YOU
I want you guys to know, I don't want my term as volunteer to be just about ME doing things. I personally don't think it should be anybody's job as volunteers to stand in front of the community, like saying "Look at me!" I'm not different from you, I'm just a deviant just like you. Sure I was given the honor of having a new symbol and with that, some cool privileges... for a time. But if you forget about the symbol for a moment, you'll see I'm the same old wacky guy who likes to use stupid gifs to make a point that I've always been.
So, let's work as a team!

If you have cool ideas, share them with me! Maybe we can col

Celebrating Diversity #3Hello, everyone!
When we don't see enough of a particular art form, it is difficult for us to understand or appreciate it. This project aims to bring you features that you might not have seen otherwise from a variety of galleries around dA. For example, I tend to live and breathe photomanipulations and (to a lesser extent) digital art, and I really enjoyed taking a moment to browse the non-photomanipulation galleries for treasures. I found many, and I hope you will enjoy the features I have chosen.

dA Related Update: Gallery RestructureIntroduction
Welcome to a revamped version of A Week in dA Related. This article will keep you up-to-date with the latest happenings in the deviantART Related community as well as deviantART.
Gallery Restructure
Earlier this week, I announced the dA Related Gallery Restructure. Please leave any suggestions you have in the blog linked above! We've already gotten a huge amount of suggestions, which is great, because we'd really love community input on this! Almost everyone has a deviantART Related deviation somewhere in their gallery, so it affects a large amount of people.

$namenotrequired and I have been discussing each suggestion, and weighing out the pros and cons in some of them. I hope to post another update regarding this restructure in the next few weeks.

Project Educate: People and Portraits IntroductionPortrait or Portraiture Photography is about a person or a group of people arranged in a certain way to convey the mood, emotions and possibly even a story. On DeviantART there are many sub-categories within the People & Portraits Gallery and some of those are self explanatory whilst others take a little bit more planning and thinking about to achieve. Throughout this week, we'll be working to hopefully clean up misconceptions and straighten out parts of the People & Portrait Galleries. So here's what's happening...

Make a Difference #168Artists join deviantART to share their art and appreciate others. Due to the many artists out there, it's easy to get towed under and generally obscured from the public.
Make a Difference aims to do exactly that. This series of articles will hopefully make a difference to you as well as the artists featured weekly. Just by giving one minute of your time to write constructive comments, favourites and even watches will make a difference to these artists.
