Here’s a band needing no introduction, The Rolling Stones, if anything there should be an explanation of why they have not appeared on RockToons in these 10 years. We can thank Tara for immortalizing them in toon form, a toon of them immortalized in stone like the presidents of Mt. Rushmore.

RockToons Artists, Where Are They Now?

Tara Ryzebol was not available for comment but we did get this statement from a homeless man that frequents her workplace:

Amid the smog and busy city traffic, the forlorn call of a Torontonian illustrator drifts, barely audible, over the din and rackus. “Buy me a beer…” it calls.

Tara has been known to mooch free booze now and then. but more importantly, she’s busy with her final year of schooling at the Ontario College of Art and Design. Currently, she is working on several projects and beefing up her professional portfolio. She’s working on a graphic novel entitled “Gutbucket”; a charming little ditty about an ill-fated indie-metal band who covers 30’s and 40’s jazz songs. Gutbucket refers to something to store liquor in and to the type of music associated with heavy drinking. An early term for lowdown or earthy music: ie. “That cat Satchmo started out playing some real ‘gutbucket’ in the houses down in New Orleans.” Gutbucket also happens to be the name of the band. Stay tuned for updates on this project.

Other than that, Tara works part time at a trendy hand-made bathsoap store called “Lush” and is continually hit on by semi-homeless perverts.

When she isn’t making art, selling soap or wasting time on the internet, she can be found sleeping, usually in a bed. somewhere.
