The US media Visual News praises Makaon's work as follows:

"Japanese artist Makaon recycles aluminum cans by transforming them into amazing works by himself. Makaon creates these amazingly detailed reproductions. It's hard to even imagine how much patience and band-aid was needed. Makaon's work includes anime characters, superheroes, animals, etc., all of which are sodas that have been drunk. And made from empty cans of beer. "

I'm curious about the "Gundam" and "deep taste" produced with empty cans.

Makaon's work is also featured on 123 Inspiration, a blog media that introduces art works from around the world, and Foodbeast, a news site specializing in food.

The letters "Mario" and "Kinmugi" made from empty cans are dazzling.

All of McCaon's work can be found on his website.
