Maze Comic Book Cover #99 - War Bird

Issue #99 in my comic book cover series is called War Bird and features a maze of an Aztec War Bird. Imagine this bird swooping down from above to attack with sharp metal talons. Not fun. But, also likes to eat crackers (probably).

My comic book cover mazes can be found in 2 places:

Comic Book Cover Mazes - Year 1 (Issues #1-53)

Comic Book Cover Mazes - Year 2

To receive a book of my first year of comic book book mazes (Volume 1 with mazes #1-53) you can sign up for my book alerts - any time I launch a free maze book, or paid book (on Amazon), I will send you a note about the new book launch.

Maze of the Week #203 - Wooden Sailing Ship Maze

As we come up on the Thanksgiving holiday I wanted to schedule 2 mazes somewhat related to the holiday. The first involves a sea maze. Introducing Maze of the Week #203 featuring a Wooden Sailing Ship Maze. There wouldn’t be pilgrims without these ships. This particular maze is of a higher difficulty than the others in the collection. The ship includes many details and the wooden planks and the many sails made for great maze pathways. When I completed the illustration and maze I decided to make it a dual coloring page. Enjoy !

Making Mazes - 5 years later - a comparison - Part 6

Welcome back to my series where I look at my maze making over time. Hopefully they have improved. For an explanation of the series you can check out part 1, but the tldr is I used to make daily mazes and now make weekly mazes allowing me to spend more time on each maze.

Here are the first 5 parts in the series:

Let’s compare 5 more mazes and see how much better the newest mazes are 5 years later.

Part 6 - Random Mazes

Fox Maze

The initial maze is from January 2021. The new maze is from 2025 and was made to help create a Spanish language animal maze book (Z- zorro), thus the INICIO/META for START/GOAL. That first maze was made quickly and never made it on to the site I hated it so much. The facial shape is way off (it reminds me of the tiger in Part 1 of this series). The new full body version from today is preferred. At some point I may colorize it.

Clown Maze

I had forgotten that I made a clown maze way back in April of 2019 and then a new one for the comic book collection. For what it is I don’t hate the old version as much as I normally do despite the many obvious design flaws. And the newer clown maze version is from the Fall of 2024.

Food Truck Maze

So I really enjoyed making the old food truck maze. I still like it. I added a similar vehicle as part of my Land, Air, Sea and Space maze collection, an Ice Cream Truck (technically also a type of food truck). I spent much more time on the background of the newer version, while the food truck version I made a denser and harder maze.

Fighter Jet Maze

This original maze was from 2020 when I was doing different themes of maze types each month. I used the illustration for grid maze month (not ideal). So the illustration is much better than the maze since the grids are fighting with the natural flow of the plane (look above at the maze walls of the new fox maze above which are shaped like the fur to see how much better mazes look with flow). The new maze of an F16 is also part of my Land, Air, Sea and Space maze collection.

Lighthouse Maze

I’m stretching this a bit here. The initial maze was made in 2019 of a generic lighthouse where I used colorful pathways to color the maze. The maze construction was horizontal, one I do not use much anymore. The newer maze was made in late 2023, the Gibraltar Lighthouse maze. This version includes shadows and the maze works it way through the stones on the lighthouse allowing the art to look more natural. I am planning a new lighthouse maze for 2026.

See you again down the road when I remake (and hopefully improve) more mazes ! Happy Mazing !

Vehicle Maze - Hot Air Balloon Maze

This Hot Air Balloon Maze is a dual maze and coloring page. I have had the opportunity to attend many hot air balloon events in my life. Seeing more than 50 in the sky at once is hard to describe but it is wonderful. Decorating this should be fun. Part of the Land, Air, Sea and Space Vehicle Maze collection.
