Welcome back to the wonderfully weird world of Tumblr, where you'll find your new favorite artist and immerse yourself in a vibrant community of creativity and fandom.
Tumblr is the ultimate destination for digital art enthusiasts. Dive into a sea of effervescent digital paintings covering every fandom imaginable. But don't stop there—stay for the awe-inspiring original works from these talented artists. Amidst the art, you'll find the old internet charm, a plethora of fandoms, and enough memes to entertain even the most dedicated meme connoisseur. Engage by adding your own content or simply scroll and soak it all in.
Every piece of life-changing art you discover, every mesmerizing waterfall GIF, every thought-provoking quote you reblog, and every curated tag—that's all you. Reblog these treasures to showcase your identity and passions. You're the explorer in this vast digital landscape, and Tumblr is the ever-evolving map you help create. Welcome home—make it yours.
If you're an artist, you're stepping into a community eager to embrace your creations. Consider Tumblr your online studio with endless possibilities. Use it as a portfolio to showcase your work, engage with your audience, or as a digital sketchbook to brainstorm ideas, share drafts, and gather feedback. Take on commissions, participate in themed art challenges like Goblin Week, Mermay, Julycanthropy, and Yeehawgust, and delve into discussions about your favorite artistic tools. Create original character (OC) art for fellow Tumblr writers, and sell prints, coasters, mugs, and other merchandise through our Artist Alley to an audience that's actively seeking your work. You can even launch a webcomic right here—think of Heartstopper, which started on Tumblr.
Imagine all of this, accessible on the go. That's the Tumblr experience.
Chances are, if you've seen it elsewhere, it likely originated here on Tumblr. That captivating digital painting, the insightful text post explaining something you never knew you needed to know—they all started here. Your dashboard will become a tapestry woven from the wonderful, nonsensical, and fantastical things you love. Whether you post actively, lurk in the likes, or reblog to your personal online collection, you'll find a ready-made home within your community.
When you have something to share—a hot take on astrology, a Barbie fanfic, or an adorable photo of your turtle Harold—shoot your shot with a photo, video, or text post. Share your ramblings via audio or your current favorite song through Spotify. We even offer a pre-set chat post for all your incorrect quotes.
The reblog feature sparks conversations, creates jokes, and fosters connections that can span the globe and last for years. Time and space are at your fingertips. Whatever you share in our effervescent digital ether can travel anywhere, unless you opt for our post-level reblog controls. Private blog? Private post? It's all possible here on Tumblr.
Tumblr is the heart of fandom. We all have that one special character we adore from our favorite shows. Here, you'll find fanart to stare at, reblog, and perhaps even create and share with the community. Connect with your favorite fanfiction authors from AO3, view their OC art, and discuss lore in depth. Whether you're into Pokémon, Marvel, Kpop, Supernatural, Minecraft, Star Wars, or Doctor Who—it's all here.
Tumblr is a universe waiting to be explored. If the idea of creating, reblogging, shipping, and curating feels daunting, visit tips.tumblr.com. Cat Frazier of animatedtext.tumblr.com will guide you through Tumblr etiquette—the effervescent, the eeby, the deeby.
So, sign up, fall in love with some art, follow some tags, and find your place on the dashboard. Reblog, like, and post to your heart's content, or simply drift through the dream you've crafted for yourself. You hold the keys to this kingdom.
