For those who`ve been wondering

For those who`ve been wondering: the reason I haven`t posted any drawings lately. I`m working on a top secret project for IDW and cannot publish any of the material or say anything about it. Other than it`s going to be great and something new! The project is keeping me so busy I don`t have time to draw anything else (that I could post). Be patient.

War of the Dead trade review By The Lottery Party

noreply@blogger.com (Sami Makkonen) — Wed, 07 Nov 2012 10:15:00 +0000

The Deadworld War of the Dead trade is out NOW! Read the review & go get the book!

"Makkonen is, simply put, one of my absolute very favorite sequential artists working today strictly for his dedication and performance on this property. His images here are ghastly and gnarly, with starving forms gone half-feral fully insinuating years of ferocious self-defense."

Excuses and tattoo

noreply@blogger.com (Sami Makkonen) — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 10:22:00 +0000

The reason I`ve been so silent is I`ve been drowning to the load of stuff I`m doing. One new series starting plus a graphic novel coming out later this year. Plus a whole new graphic novel project I`m writing myself ( and of course illustrating too). More about all of those a bit later. Here is a link to Black Crows Break the Silence website with the background based on my illustration. And a photo of tattoo based on my illustration of Death.
