Maze of the Week #96 - Laughing Pumpkin

Maze of the Week #96 celebrates Halloween with a new style of maze. I hope you enjoy this Laughing Pumpkin Maze which I made in comic book style. I hope you like it, because I liked making it so much you will be seeing more mazes like this ! If you want some additional kids Halloween themed mazes or a maze/coloring page of La Catrina for Day of the Dead, I have those covered !

The Maze: Comic book style, easy, free hand drawn walls. I really like the way the background makes this maze pop off the page.

Maze of the Week #95 - Gibraltar Point Lighthouse

Maze of the Week #95 is of the Gibraltar Point Lighthouse in Toronto, Canada. Constructed in 1808, this is the oldest lighthouse on the Great Lakes. As we get closer to Halloween I must ask - Is the lighthouse haunted ? Yes. Would you believe maybe ? Then would you believe it could have been but no longer is ? The very first lighthouse keeper, John Paul Radelmüller, is believed to have been violently murdered and is Toronto’s oldest cold case. You can read about this mystery on this website about Toronto. Or, just watch the video below !

The Maze: I went with color but left out the surrounding trees. I added shadows and like how they came out.

Maze of the Week #92 - Kresge Auditorium Maze

Maze of the Week #92 takes us to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, MA which a normal person just calls MIT. This is their Kresge Auditorium building which is used for the performing arts. Designed by famous architect Eero Saarinen the building was completed and opened in 1955. I loved the look of the building and knew it would make a great maze.

YouTube: A 4 minute long documentary about the museum with some nice pictures:

The Maze: In color. Relatively easy to solve. I made new trees than those that I have used in the past (more detail /gaps vs. the ‘flat’ trees I have made before). Trying to make the trees look more realistic.

Maze of the Week #91 - Monte Alban Maze

Maze of the Week #91 keeps us in Mexico for my 3rd different maze of a pyramid or ruin with this Monte Alban Maze from the Zapotec archeological site in Oaxaca, Mexico. Here are my other 2 similar mazes:

Chichen Itza Maze

Mayan Ruins at Uxmal Maze

Photos: I had a chance to visit the site because I lived in the city for 3 months. Here is a gallery of pictures I took, one of which was used to make the maze. I went on a day with perfect weather - easy to do around there - and was one of the first 5 people in the site, so my pictures include very few people !

YouTube: Here is a quick 6 minute video showing the grounds if the pictures weren’t enough.

The Maze: I re-worked this maze after finishing it. A small re-color and then I re-sized it from paper size to a size that fit the structure/maze better. I also added shadows which were a huge improvement IMO.
