Tuesday, June 28, 2005:
 Remember
the RockToons Collaboration 2005? Where one artist would sketch a
toon and another would finish it? Well, we still got a couple
coming in, here is the flamboyant
Elton John by Tyler and Ivy Beth, deserving his spot here
being a long time eccentric icon of rock.
Friday,

 Guest
artist Carling Ruffee returns with
Layne Staley of Alice In

overdose in the Spring of 2002.
Friday,
June 10, 2005:
 Stanley
Eisen & Gene Klein (later
Paul
Stanley & Gene Simmons) started Kiss in the early 70's. When

 Welcome
back to this week's edition of KreepyToons dot com. It seems the
women of RockToons have a bit of a dark side, Tara has tooned for
us Sopor Aeternus, hey,

enjoy talking to people that are not there, playing with dead
things and eating small children.
Wednesday, June 1, 2005:
 Maria

metal) named

happy place...
Tuesday,
May 31, 2005:
 Alejandro
Gutierrez has created some guest art of

disfigured in some sort of accident.
Monday,

Monday, May 23, 2005:
 Lead
by Glenn Danzig, the Misfits

 New
art from Tara, Matthew

numerous awards, before they could think up a better one. Mr. Good
has since pursued a solo career.
Thursday, May 19, 2005:
 Felix
brings us the British punk rockers known as
The Clash. They first appeared in
concert opening for the Sex Pistols in London back in 1976, and
got a record deal less than a year later. They maintained a
rebellious attitude throughout their career, members were
constantly in and out of jail. They didn't hit major popularity
until the early 80's, & disbanded shortly after.
Wednesday, May 18, 2005:
 There
are still a collaboration pieces coming soon but until then we'll
take a break. Here is Immortal

metal band that has really played out theatrics to the fullest,
keeping the mystique of painted faces and stage names since they
began.
Tuesday, May 17, 2005:
 And
here's another band from Finland,
Entwine. This collaborative piece comes from Tara and Tyler.
Entwine got started in music back in 1995 as a 3-piece death metal
band but are now a quintet of gothic metal pop specializing in
dark melodies.
Monday, May 16, 2005:
 Trollish
hoedown metal. That's how Finntroll
describes their style. Continuing with the collaborations, Maria
and Juan did a great job with this piece. So grab yourself a brew
and a roasted goat leg, jump in and get down with your troll self.
Friday, May 13, 2005:
 No band
made glam rock as popular as Kiss
did back in the 70's and now the makeup and stage theatrics have
come back in style among modern rock bands. They were definitely
due for a RockToon on the site and this colorful, collaborative
tribute by Melissa and Tara does not disappoint.
Thursday,
May 12, 2005:
 Continuing
the collaboration, today we have

color theory that the average viewing eye might not appreciate.
