About


Hello there, my name is Sam Mackulin and I'm an artist/illustrator and comic maker based in Lancashire in the North West of England. I'm quite an eclectic maker and I like to explore all kinds of topics and subjects and characters, the humble pencil is often my best friend these days but I also enjoy working in ink, watercolour and sometimes tackle digital work too. 
My main interests are narrative work like zines, comics or graphic novels, I started a sci-fi serial comic in 2024 called 'Toast in the machine' I see this being a project I continue for the long term and I hope will grow and improve as time goes on, I've never made a 'proper' comic before if I can even call it that, but I'm allowing myself to learn while doing and see where it goes. You can read this on webtoon and I hope to bring out a print of the first issue this year (2025). 


I'm a self taught artist and have no formal training, I have a degree in music but decided to persue drawing once I came back up North. My Nana first taught me to draw and inspired my love of drawing in ink and illustrative work, she is still one of my best supporters. 

 
I want to encourage spontaneity in my work and try out different approaches but I also want to keep my work grounded in honesty and meaningful topics, especially in this ever changing and heavy world, I hope to bring some escape but also comfort to those who engage with my work whilst also highlighting important issues. 

I value my connection to nature in the rural area I live in and care about protecting the environment I always try to keep my business materials as eco friendly as possible and continue to work on this.

 
If you'd like to work with me or contact me please see the contact me page and you can find me on Tiktok, Instagram, Facebook and Webtoon and I'm also glad to finally be making videos on Youtube too!
