It is time to evaluate the website, the YouTube channel, and the brand to see what I want to do for 2025. Most importantly, what will be the maze theme for 2025 ?
What type of mazes will I see on the site ?
Every Monday you will get a maze of the week with a corresponding blog post about it.
I have enjoyed doing case studies as I have learned new drawing techniques, allowing me to improve some of my mazes. Here is a blog post that brings those posts together: A Collection of Maze Design Case Studies to improve your Mazes
For the first half of the year I am going to revise some of my most popular mazes and see if I can improve them. So, Maze of the Week Re-dux’s.
The second half of the year will be new mazes on a wide variety of subjects, using what I have learned. SEE UPDATE BELOW
Will there be videos on YouTube again ?
No. There did not seem to me much interest in the making of mazes that I made, so the YouTube videos will stop.
Any new books planned ?
Many. I will be launching new books during the year on the website. Themed. Typical subjects. I hope to make a lot more Kids maze content.
I am also working on Books to launch on Amazon in the Fall. Arrow Mazes Vol 2, Weaving Mazes Vol 2 and a few others I will announce in the future.
I have also pulled together my Comic Book Cover Mazes into a free book for anyone who signs up for my book alerts.
How do I sign-up for new Book alerts ?
Right here. Any time I launch a new book I will send you an email.
Comic Books; I thought this was a maze site ?
I really like the comic book style and made a new comic book style maze each week in 2024. Each Tuesday I made the weekly maze into a comic book cover. I will be continuing making Tuesday a day where you get a new Comic Book Cover Maze. The numbering continues.
However it will not be of the Monday MOTW like in 2024, instead it will be a stand alone maze. So each week will feature 2 new mazes !
If you want to receive the full comic book from 2024, sign up above and I will send it to you !
Pinterest ?
I started this in 2024 and didn’t do much with it. I get some traffic to the site from there. You can check out my page/pins. Fell free to share my mazes there ! Honestly I’m not sure which I am worse at, YouTube or Pinterest ?
I will post there more when I have time.
Blogging ?
Well I did a new labyrinth blog post each Saturday in 2024, suggesting free labyrinths to visit in each US state. Well, I am out of states, so Saturday blog posts will most likely be gone, leaving me with a Monday, Tuesday, Thursday posting schedule.
Want to guest blog about maze and labyrinth design ? Drop me an email !
So, in summary:
Monday - Maze of the Week - Re-dux’s to start
Tuesday - Comic Book Cover mazes continue
Thursday - General interest blog posts on mazes and labyrinths
I hope you enjoy the site !
WEEKLY MAZES for the second half of the year:
The first half of the year has focused on me remaking previous mazes with 2 techniques to improve them. I called them Maze of the Week Re-duxes. Generally it worked and I am happy with the results. For the second half of the year we will return to new mazes. I actually have made more mazes than I need for the rest of the year. First, I will clean out the random mazes that include some scenes, items, landscapes and insects. Then starting in Mid-August new mazes will be from my Air, Land, Sea and Space collection. I wanted to create some mazes for kids but with improved illustrations. I ended up making vehicles of all types, thus my name. Planes, trains, cars, buses, rockets, and boats are all included. I made 47 in total (and may make more). I am going to select the best ones for the Maze of the week. The goal will be to create a kids book out of the mazes, including those that don’t make MOTW status. In order to make all the mazes available on the website, I will write a blog post introducing the extra vehicle mazes each Wednesday and a few more on Friday. They are mix or color (some with backgrounds), and black & white versions, including some that are perfect as coloring pages. It starts Monday with a maze I started, then abandoned of a famous monument in the US.
UPDATE from the future: These vehicle mazes are now pulled together in book form in either color or blacka nd white !
I also will be launching books in the Fall - a mix of both free versions on this site and paid versions on Amazon. If you want to be alerted to these launches sign-up for my free book alerts.
