FEATURES AND TIPS:</U>
Whether its for the little kids or the big kids - we all like to play with our imaginations or just chill out sometimes. A cute little tea party, playing board games or even visiting the Fair or the Circus... having a good ol' lark with the tiny tots is one awesome way to relax, unwind and generally have a good old time.
So what kinds of things are kids interested in these days? Well, I have no clue _{seeing as how I spend most of the day on dA} BUT when I was a kid we didn't mind an afternoon picnic, playing with dolls and teddies, story-telling, playing hide-and-seek and climbing trees.
The features below are to show a mix of some of the stock and resources you can find in the Stock Gallery revolving around what kids love to do most - play and have fun.

STOCK TUTORIAL OF THE WEEK:</U>
There are so many flying/falling/sleeping/overhead shots in the stock gallery it can make you wonder how the heck stockers do it. Not everyone has a friend or family member handy to stand on a benchtop or ladder to take photos for them. So in this uber-helpful and easy tutorial by lockstock we get the low-down on how to do things the easy way, without risking a broken neck and broken furniture

FOCUS ON THE FORUMS!:</U>

The StockArt forums are located here: forum.deviantart.com/galleries…

A place for stockers to promote their contests, artists to request specific stock, ask for help finding stock, discuss stockart in general and much more! We go a little silly sometimes but don't let that scare you off! Just remember what we're about - STOCK!!

ostit: What's Your Bag?: by CausticStock. Causty is putting together an brilliant little (or not so little) list of stockers and what their specialties are. If you want to find someone quickly then you're in luck - stockers here are showing their stuff and letting you know what you can find in their galleries, without the fuss of using the search engine.

ostit: Add Your Birthday To The List: by Helly-stock. Feel like spoiling your neighbourhood stockers? Or maybe you are a stocker and don't mind showing your age Helly is compiling a huge list of all the stockers that drop by and when their birthdays are. So if you're the kind of person that wants to be the first in line to say 'Happy Birthday, thanks for being awesome!' then you need to drop by here and see what all the fuss is about.


MONTHLY STOCK PROJECT:</U>
Whoever you are, whatever kind of resource you upload - check out and join in on the monthly challenges to both Stockers and general Resourcers. Get featured in the Monthly Newsletter, find inspiration in a simple phrase or theme and join in with other stockers in a throw-together collaboration!

This month's challenge topic was suggested by UnicornReality (thank you, Fifi). 'What is this awesome^2 challenge?' I hear you ask? Surreal, baby!! That's right. Everyone is so gosh-darned obsessed with Surrealism lately why NOT make a challenge about it? Its the challenge dreams are made of. Literally.
September Challenge closes September 30!!
