Well we are still catching up on submitted guest art. To give you
an idea of how far behind we are, this current piece of
Rancid by Mike Hinkle was
submitted exactly one year ago. We have 75 submissions in the que
right now that will catch us up to 2004. 2004's submissions have
not been filtered yet but there are about 150 submissions in there
to sort through. Some of the e-mail addresses may no longer be
being used, so if you see your guest art has appeared here with an
old e-mail then
let
us know. The submissions seem to have slowed lately, maybe
that will give us a chance to catch up, until then there will be
lots of updates. =)

Tuesday,
April 13, 2004:
System of A Down guest art
by Timmy Taranto. We pulled the archive off the bottom of the
pages of all the guest art and turned the main page into the
archive. It makes updates simpler and perhaps the individual pages
will load faster on slower connections.
Saturday,
April 10, 2004:
Today, it's um,
more, um....
slipknot guest art.
A cool rendition by Nanaki from Germany nevertheless.
Friday,

Today we have
another Linkin Park guest toon,

find.
Monday,
March 1, 2004:
We are proud to
present the "Return of Guest Art" (spoken by our professional
announcer with a thunderous echo effect). So you can quit yer
complaining. We'll start it off with guest art from Ivybeth of
Linkin Park, Blink 182 & Mudvayne.
Hmm, what a lineup.
Thursday,
February 19, 2004:
The RockToons server was having some problems yesterday. It had a
bug where it started logging several hundred errors per second.
While this sort of performance may seem impressive it did not make
accessing the site a very smooth operation. It should be running
good now with some updated server software. In addition, the forum
software was updated and half the old topics were pruned,
incidentally you may have noticed a change in your post count
since it is not based on total posts made but total active posts.
All that machine talk aside, here's a new
Machine Head from Chad,
apparently we did not break his fingers effectively enough, or he
has resorted to drawing with his toes.
Sunday,
February 15, 2004:
Today from Nina we
have the Japanese metal trio, Sigh.
Also for you Axer fans, he reopened his site this month so
go check it out to see
what he's up to.

Iced Earth.
Tuesday,
February 10, 2004:
Bryn is back with a new one of
Chimaira, not to be confused with Chimera, Chimaera or Chimere.
Monday,
February 9, 2004:
Toning down the mood a bit we have a new and beautifully rendered
toon of Michelle Branch
from Marc.
Friday,
February 6, 2004:
Wow, what a week of updates. Chad Week is really over. We even
broke his little fingers to slow him down for a while. And with
that, we gladly bring you Scott's
Finger Eleven.
Tuesday,
February 3, 2004:
Chad's final encore, Brody Dalle
of the Distillers. We can add it to our bloody toons
collection. Also we have broken all Chad's pens and pencils to
give the other RockToons artists a chance to do some toons.
Monday,
February
2, 2004:
Chad Week is over, but how about an encore? How about two more

Speaking of Chad,
that guy does a lot of toons. Makes us have to update and stuff.
In fact this week is "Chad Week". That means 7 days worth of
Lenjer toons. How does he do so many toons?
Him is insane.
Thursday, January
8, 2004:
Chad does a lot of
toons, like perhaps too many, we are starting to think him a bit
Twiztid. Hope you have enjoyed
the daily updates this week. There will not be any updates till
next week. Sorry, see you then.
Wednesday, January
7, 2004:

depths of the RockToons artist graveyard is our very own Marc
Aspinal. With him has risen a toon of
Amy Lee of Evanescence.
Tuesday, January

Led Zeppelin. Thanks Anna.
Monday, January
5, 2004:
Well hello there. Happy New Year to you too. This site finally has
