Art memes are a type of "fannish" meme in that they present a challenge or series of questions to respond to. Such memes are very popular on Deviantart, but also are spread around other platforms and communities such as tumblr and livejournal. Among the most common types are: fandom-specific memes, pairing-related memes, OC memes, and general art challenge memes. If a meme is popular, it will likely be followed by similar memes which are adaptations, variations, or occasionally copies of the original.
