08::08::04 — So you guys are all probably hating me right about now.  It's been four months since I've updated this thing. Four months. That's crazy!  I should never let it go that long without being updated, ever.

The sad part is that even though it's been four months since I last updated the site, I haven't really been very productive on the art front.  You can check the galleries for yourself, but there isn't much there that's new.  A couple pics here and there.  I've got some other ones in the works, but I can't show them at the moment.  You'll just have to be patient.  Now that the summer months are almost over with, I can feel the productivity starting to pump through my veins.  Oh yes.  Very soon.

I also added a couple links to the links section.  So check 'em out.  And again, my apologies for the late update.  I'm a bad, bad lion.

04::06::04 — Finally.  The whole site is done.  I was going to do more with the links and contact pages, but...  I'm lazy.  They look fine as is.  Alright, now back to work on art.

04::01::04 — Well I was close.  I tried to get this new design done and completed before the end of the month.  Oh well.

So?  What do you think?  I think it looks rather spiffy.  Sleek colors and it matches my Live Journal pretty well, which, by the way, has made a permanent home in the menu to the left.  Some of the pages on the site aren't completely done yet.  I still have to fix the about, contact and links pages as they're still in the old style, but I'll get to it eventually.  The artwork and writings sections work as they should.  I even added in a nice little quick news feature to the side there to let you know what's new without having to read the whole news post, plus it links you directly to the new stuff.  Pretty nifty, eh?

About the new stuff: I've been busy!  Remember that whole thing about one finished color image per month?  Yeah, I quintupuled that.  Three new general color images and two gifts for others, one being a commission, not to mention the three new sketches.  I also received three, yes three, gifts from others this month!  I'm pretty flattered.  Thanks you guys.

A new story has also been added to the writings section.  I've got a link or two to post up in the links section, but that'll have to wait until I actually finish redoing that page.  Oh, and I plan to make an intro page as well, but that'll require me to draw something new.  I'll keep you posted.

Happy April Fool's day!  Go out and give someone a good tricking.

02::27::04 — I tried creating a new layout for the site today, but it turns out Paint Shop Pro didn't want to.  Blasted program kept crashing on me.  It's no big deal.  I have patience.  I'll wait it out.  Oh yes...

Five new images have been added to the site, two in the color art for others section, two in the sketches section and one in the gifts from others section.  The first color piece is a picture of Biff from The Class Menagerie.  The second is my first finished commission ever.  Both turned out pretty good.  Now if I could just get the hang of doing backgrounds.  The gift from Emory is an excellent pic he gave me on my birthday.

Also, I added a story given to me from my good friend Kaelin in the writings section and two new links to the links section.

On another note, I urge you all to visit The Suburban Jungle and The Class Menagerie.  They are two of the best furry web comics available.  If you haven't read them yet, do yourself a favor and go now.

01::29::04 — Another month come and gone.  Guess what?  I finished a pic!  That's my goal you know: one finished image per month.  Seriously.  Hopefully I can do more than that per month, but we'll just have to see.  The new pic was made for an ill friend and involves a new coloring technique I thought I'd try out.  I really like the end results.  See for yourself in the gifts to others section.

On another note, I got my first commission request. Woo-hoo!  And from someone in my own state no less.

Also, I started my own personal journal on LiveJournal.com.  I plan on updating it daily, so check it out to see what's going on in the life of Bauske.  Not like there's much going on in the life of Bauske, but that's not the point.

12::29::03 — Whoops.  Guess that wasn't all for that update.  I forgot to add in Emory's end of the trade pic.  It's been posted in the gifts from others section.

12::29::03 — And again... it's nearly 3 a.m. on Monday morning.  I should be in bed, but instead I'm working on art and updating my site.  Figures.  I work best at night time.  I suppose it's my curse.

I've updated two new images to the site.  One is an incredibly overdue image for my friend Emory.  I've been trying to draw something for him for a couple months now, but nothing turned out the way I wanted it to.  It wouldn't surprise me to have to count the attempts on two hands.  The image is done now, and I like it.  So nyah.

The second image was for the Suburban Jungle Christmas competition.  A week of voting passed and I was glad to see I won.  That means I get to treasure an official print from John Robey himself.  What a great Christmas present... that I had to earn!

Also, on a final note, I'm going to open for comissions and see what happens.  Hope I don't bite off more than I can chew.

That's it for this update.
